It's All I Need And I Jump Over

We must admit: we're not partial to using the calendar as a crutch for progress. A new year (and decade) is an exciting thing, and an excuse to party always sits well with us. However, at outerglow hq's we are firm believers in self-improvement not as a resolution, but as an ever-present mindset. Even more, though, we believe in intentional daily happiness (for at least a few moments). It's great to have a work ethic and to push hard for your version of success, and if you're able to make a new year's resolution and keep it, more power to you. But you know what's better? Making time to do things that give you full and legitimate pleasure– like listening to super flamboyant disco, fist-pumping (ahem) house beats, or the understated genius of Arthur Russell. That's our wish for you, not for 2010, but every day. Much love and happy new year.

Here is the first song we listened to in the new year. It is a huge compliment when we say this edit approaches the loveliness of the original.
