Simple enough concept. I've tried to compile a nice mix of songs that either use a xylophone, marimba, glockenspiel or other Miss America Talent Competition-worthy instruments, i.e. bottles, barrels, etc.
The title came from a long day sitting at work, on July 3rd, hours away from my three-day weekend, with an idle mind, and it made "tired sense", so it stuck. [pride] I like how the cover tuned out. [/pride]

Celesta. My research taught me that Sigur Ros used Bjork's celesta on Takk. This is a decent, non-album track from the Icelandic Pixie. Speaking of Pixies...

Recent "find" from iTunes. RB has a few dozen albums covering different artists using only percussion instruments. Most of the songs I've sampled sound like bad Merry-Go-Round trips. This song is lovely, if I can put it that way. This is a beautiful rendition of a great Pixies song. Sweet dreams.
