Little Things that I Love: #'s 13 &18

I experienced a perfect music moment last night on my walk home.

The Gotan Project's "Diferente" on their Lunatico album (on repeat this week) has a great beat that kind of forces you to walk in time to it. Tackling stairs and flat ground alike to this quick rhythm, it felt like the world was listening to the same track. Then in the last minute of the song, I noticed a guy walking toward me to the exact same beat making every one of our steps in sync. He kept up this relatively odd pace for the entire 100 feet or so it took to reach and pass me. This may sound like a weird thing to get excited about, but it was one of those moments where everything feels like it's moving on the same wavelength as everything else as opposed to bumper car effect of the poorly aligned multitude of wavelengths that usually exists.
