Beds of Sin (iii)

This almost hit me in the head at work the other day, so I picked it up after it came to rest and snapped an iPad picture for the blog:

I realize that the pine cone and the maple leaf have their fans, but seriously, isn't this soooo much cooler? There's just something about Los Angeles, from the architecture to the flora to the sunsets. It makes up for the quotidian inconveniences of modern American life in a way that fall colors, dendritic snowflakes, and the IDS Tower just never quite could. And though I've never been one to take overt cues for my music from environmental sources, I do think the aesthetic change of pace has had a charitable impact on me and my work. So sure, come on over everyone. We'll make room for you.
