Today's post actually reflects about ten or eleven days of listening, not just a week. (Last week's soundtrack was an auto-post; I wasn't really thinking about blogging.) So here you see, as best as I can remember, everything I listened to beginning the day my brilliant wife went into labor, through our three-day stay in the hospital, and into a week spent at home getting to know the kid. You can see this all had a direct effect on what I put on and how I listened to it. Lots of quiet music--mostly because my wife and I were so tired we didn't want anything else!--and lots of marathons. We didn't really want to spend much time thinking about what to put on so we'd just put on Iron & Wine or Kings of Convenience or Andrew Bird and just let every album play through. Iron & Wine has probably been the go-to of the week.
