Does this item deserve my space and time? I am the guardian of all my possessions.

According to Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room, how we decorate our home reflects God's beauty within us.

When I deleted some of my emails, I made time to watch theminimalists podcasts!!!

I donate my unused and unwanted items to the thrift store on a regular basis as my way of saying thank you for thrift stores. I shop second hand on my disability income.

I gave up video games and Facebook for violin lessons. I clear my practice corner for violin practice. I do ballet at home.

New listener here - I'm enjoying the content, but whoever is cutting your show needs to take a biiiiig step back. There's a cut in every sentence, sometimes two. It sounds like they're cutting out the breaths, which sounds very unnatural, and is making me feel like I'm suffocating.

You say that there are no advertisements, but when you say every episode that there are no adverts, you are kinda advertising!!

Youtube is a type of blackhole that specifically sucks in your time

I love real pictures, do not forget that storing on data servers is also polution. Servers use electricity, if everyone stores all their pictures.. opposed to selecring your favorite pictures and storing them in an album..

From the forthcoming 2CD compilation of remixes, rarities and unreleased tracks entitled "Memory and Matter", coming out on October 7 on Darla Records.

www.darla.com


"Memory and Matter comprises selected remixes and rarities from the past seven years, nine of them previously unreleased and many of them only issued only on hard to find EPs or as Japanese release bonus tracks. Far from being merely a collection of every single oddity, these tracks were carefully selected into a consistent whole that maintains the same high standard of proper Manual albums. This two-disc compilation is also a labor of love.

Like it's predecessor, Lost Days, Open Skies and Streaming Tides, released in 2007, disc one demonstrates Jonas Munk aka Manual's expertise in creating elegantly layered, shoegazey pop, while disc two focuses on minimalist, slow-moving pieces created mostly from processed guitars. The latter adds an excellent postscript to Confluence - an album that has gained near-classic status in ambient/drone circles since it's release in 2008.

Munk's way of remixing other artists usually involves a complete reconstruction of the original piece, rearranging heavily and adding loads of fresh layers of sound to it, which is obvious when listening to his haunting and atmospheric reworkings of Blue Foundation's ballad ”Dressed in Black” or Mice Parade singer Caroline's ”Sleep”, or the Robin Guthrie produced Annie Barker track ”Cruel”. For Manual fans it's a treat to hear Munk's lush signature sound paired up with (often female) vocals. Disc 1 closes with the 17 minute Manual original ”Camellia”, the most new age-indebted piece in the Manual oeuvre, originally created for a digital-only compilation on Attack9. The track's placid sense of drift and delicately weaved harmonies makes it a standout in Munk's entire body of work.

 Disc 2 is darker, more ambiguous in tone, with ”Three Parts” as the center piece – an enigmatic composition originally created for Ghostly International's ambient/drone compilation SMM: Context in 2011. Other notable selections includes  ”Fields”, a meditative collaboration with Jason Kolb from Auburn Lull, and ”Memento”, a somber piece that exhibits Munk's flair for intensive guitar manipulation."
