I love pretty much everything by Timbuk 3 but this is the one I keep coming back to today. I love their sound and their emotional intelligence and their clever, funny, playful lyrics.


There's a phrase at the climax of the story I'm working on now that I keep switching. When I opened the file it was "for more than an instant's epiphany" and now it is "for more than a moment's epiphany". Last time (and probably next time) I opened it, I switched "moment's" to "instant's". I see now that I prefer the vowel sounds of "instant's", but the consonants of "moment's". What do you think? (This is a story for telling, not for reading.)

"Intant's" sounds better in my head. Unless you're specifically going for something murmurous and sleepy.

Oh then definitely "instant's"! All instant epiphany clickety wickety. I...think I need some sleep. :)
