The Philosophers' Cocoon

Summer sounds

Like many people, I expect, I discovered this musical artist through the astonishing German television series, Dark. If you haven't seen the show yet, it's really quite amazing (especially from the end of the first season on!):

This relatively unknown band put on the single best live show I ever saw. They never quite made it, but for one night at least they were perfection:

This one may amuse those familiar with Nelson Goodman's new riddle of induction ;)

Now that it's getting close to summer, I'm going to restart one of my favorite summer traditions: sharing some music I dig. I think this one may be one of the finest dream pop songs ever written (the lyrics are wonderful too). Put on some headphones and enjoy!

Still one of the best bands most people have never heard of.

This song really needs to be listened to all the way through to be properly appreciated:

Long-time readers of the Cocoon may recall that I tend to share music I like every summer. Now that my semester's over, it's that time again. Hope you all had a great school year and enjoy your break! :)

Sorry for the dearth of posts recently. I'm still away on a much-needed vacation in Greece until the end of the week. Here's a tune. Enjoy!

As long-time readers probably know, I often share music I like on the Cocoon. This is because, aside from philosophy, music is one of my biggest passions in life. Anyway, in keeping with the Cocoon's recent theme of philosophers sharing their passions (I hope you all have enjoyed Helen's series as much as I have!), I thought I might share a couple of songs from the band I played in during grad school (I played guitar and co-wrote music). We released this album just over ten years ago. Hope you enjoy the tunes! :)
