We just walked in the front door after hours on the road, hours spent talking everything from travel plans for the coming year (my heart is set on Morocco, Persia, and Vietnam), renting an apartment and splitting our time between Tennessee and Georgia because the new <a href=\"http:\/\/brashcoffee.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brash Coffee<\/a> shop is about to open in Atlanta (which means there\u2019ll be a disturbing amount of nights spent apart or commuting if we don\u2019t), and reframing the book I\u2019ve been trying to write for two years (he\u2019s the best sounding board in the world). We walked in the door to two mewling kittens, and I chopped an avocado, shredded some tofu, threw mushrooms in the oven to roast, and experimented with an umeboshi paste vinaigrette. And then I put a pot of farro on to boil. I have it on repeat lately, the farro.\u00a0It\u2019s nothing novel, but I always come back to it. Novel is overrated these days. And then I put this playlist on. Mondays are henceforth devoted to music\u00a0&amp; a few random moments from the past week. This playlist\u00a0is a small sample of my favorite storytellers in music from Nick Cave to Leonard Cohen to Tom Waits.

They\u2019ve gotten me through hungover mornings in the Bywater when I wasn\u2019t even twenty-one, through falling in love and so thoroughly out, through cooking dinner on a Tuesday night. These songs are more than songs. As Voltaire once said, \u201canything too stupid to be spoken is sung\u201d\u2026but in the case of these artists, that isn\u2019t true. These are short stories, poems, art.
