Hi everyone. My daughter is still in the hospital and getting IV fluids to ward off any potential dehydration problems. We do however know what has been causing all the problems she has been having lately. Its a damn vicious rotavirus. We aren't sure why the rota test that was done last week came back negative, but all we can do now is wait and keep the little one entertained.
I have (however) during the last two weeks, had some time to listen to some great music. One of the albums I have really been enjoying a whole lot is Paquet Surprise, a collaboration between Greg Davis and Sebastien Roux. Even Pitchfork gave the record a nice review.
It is a collision of electronic and organic/acoustic sounds. Hushed field recordings, beautiful dronescapes, and otherworldly blips and beeps are woven into the sonic fabric of what has become (when the headphones go on) my escape from the clamor and noise of the hospital. It is almost as if listen to the music transports me to somewhere else entirely. Glitchy, melodic, relaxing, and boldly listenable. I've been a Greg Davis fan for years, so I know how great his stuff is. You should (though) definately give Paquet Surprise a listen. It is out now on Carpark Records.

best of luck with your daughter. i have a disabled son, so i know what your'e going thru. a sick kid is the most fucked up thing in the universe. i'll be praying for her.
My thoughts are with your daughter.
Neanderthal
not to eschew the matters with hailey because i certainly understand how mentally and emotionally grueling going through that sort of thing can be, but i just wanted to agree with you that greg davis is FREAKING PHENOMENAL!
Glad to hear Hailey is recovering from her bout with the rotavirus. Isaac had his bout last Thanksgiving. We were visiting family and his mom was away on business. I was a bit freaked, but we all recovered.
We are on as steep a learning curve as our progeny.
Also, thanks for the Grup article. As a late 40something with a 2 year old who's been to 2 SXSW and 2 ACLs, I have to agree. He got a cool Che Guevera T for his birthday and it definitely turns heads.
thanks for the good words.
love and peace,
greg davis
