Camera Obscura - Forests and Sands
Oh it feels, like none of this is real
I pretend, that my heart and my head are well
But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze
Like a river in Toronto, then I’d be pleased
I’m really happy announce the release of a project I’ve been working on: trntbl.
In a sentence, trntbl turns any tumblelog into a playlist.
Trntbl started out as a simple way for me listen to my music when I forgot my iPod at home, but I’ve found it to be a useful method of finding great new music. I’m excited to share trntbl with everyone, and I hope you can take some time to check it out and let me know what you think.
A couple of quick notes:
If you want to remove an audio post from your trntbl, add the tag tt:skip to the associated Tumblr post
If you want to change the background image of your trntbl, add the tag tt:aa to any Tumblr photo post which has a hi-res version
The current method I’m using for grabbing the song artist / title is basic, and not always accurate. If you want to specify what text is outputted in your trntbl for a particular track, add the tag tt:[output] where [output] is whatever you’d like displayed (for example, tt:she & him - you really got a hold on me). You could also email Tumblr support and ask them to add ID3 tag support to the API (please, guys?).
Each player has the following keyboard shortcuts:
- Left / right arrows - previous / next song
- Space - play / pause
- The ‘m’ key - mute / unmute
For various reasons, many thanks to Anne-Sophie, Jessica, David, and Jen. Also, to Tumblr, for providing this wonderful platform, and to everyone who uses it to post amazing music.
Happy listening!

Listen to my words as they come out wrong
But don’t run away this time
And honey let me look in your eyes
You can open them one at a time
But don’t look away this time
What I learned is that burning out isn’t just about work load, it’s about work load being greater than the motivation to do work.— The story BCG offered me $16,000 not to tell 4 months ago

Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oh, now I’m coming home again
Maybe we can start again

Camera Obscura - Let’s Get Out of this Country
Let’s get out of this country
I’ll admit I am bored with me
I drowned my sorrows and slept around
When not in body at least in mind
We’ll find a cathedral city
