I Don't Want To Get Over You
The Magnetic Fields
I don’t really reblog anything - I think this is my first - but I love this song. As further justification, I was introduced to this band and album by a life drawing instructor in college. I couldn’t get enough. The Magnetic Fields are part of me as an artist.
ps, the instructor was Chicago artist Geoffrey Todd Smith. Google the man, you won’t regret it.

‘Constantly pushing the era forward isn’t always progress. We stand between the future and the past. I wonder if we could discover a key to our creativity not in that far-off target at which all society stares so intently, but rather in the extension of a vision that looks right through society from the past.
The future lies ahead of us, but behind us there is also a great accumulation of history - a resource for imagination and creativity. I think we call ‘creative’ that dynamism of intellectual conception that flows back and forth between the future and the past.’
Kenya Hara on creativity, from his phenomenal book Designing Design.
