José González and Pleasure From Work

Interesting and challenging work is always a great pleasure for a creative person, but this post is not about it.

Tonight I finally found a suitable solution to reimplement search at TorrentMan.com. I took almost two weeks and was lot of fun, disappointment, coffee and slepless nights, but it was worth all of those.

While testing this new search functionality, I accidentally came across a record by José González, which I haven't heard yet. It's something called Australian Tour EP and I've only heard two songs from eight listed there.

Really exciting, I do love José. He's so... out of here. And out of time. He plays his guitar and his voice and our souls like noone in 2000's plays. I'm not even sure that any 60's psycho or folk band ever could play like that, though there's some bit of Dylan-like melancholy in his songs. His Veneer (2003) was the very first our (mine, and Anjuta's) “record just for two of us”, something that made us feel the same, think the same and be two parts of something bigger... Wonderful feeling.

Have you ever got such pleasant surprises from your work?
