My Thoughts on the Subject...

I'd like to get back to my previous discussion about music.  It's funny, I write that as though there is someone regularly reading this.  What is it about music that is at once so soothing and cathartic? 
As far back as I can remember there has been a soundtrack to my life- the good and the bad.  I still can't listen to SenseField without having some unwanted feelings.  But why?  I have playlists that I've made on my computer for every mood and I've noticed that if I'm not upset, my mixes make you feel like jumping off of a cliff!  But the happy mixes are completely dance-able.  Surely this is something that the world has already figured out, but I haven't really sat down to the topic. 
At the moment, don't ask me why, I'm playing The Rasmus and Kenna and it's a good thing.  I can sing along without getting a cavity.  Or maybe I'm doing this so that I don't put in the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack and replenish my wardrobe of it's missing black.
I can still remember high school and those days when I felt that I was so unique, so individual- in a group of similarly individual people?  Hey, I was younger then.  But it still felt good.  I am very close to getting my 9 earings put back in actually- I really liked them!  But corporate America and all...
Listen to me! You'd think that I was in my mid-forties!  Is it really too late to reclaim your individuality?  Especially when you have no job and no prospects?  Who know?
CSHL- Sunrise, Florida, United States of America
I could give you a dissertation on Portishead- needless to say, if I found them touring, I would sell something important to be able to go.
Alice in Chains is one of my first loves.  I don't think that I have heard a voice that does what Layne Stanleys did to me.  He will be greatly missed.
The Donnas! This is girl power- F*ck the Spice Girls!  I love these chicks- fun music.
If you've never heard of SMG, well, you're not abnormal.  I've listened to and love two of their albums- Burn and Torture Technique.
TOOL- Let me just say- for the record- that these guys are geniuses!  Sorry Maynard- didn't dig A perfect Circle- but keep the Tool coming!
Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side, do I need to say more?  Don't make me mention the Velvet Underground!
Kasabian: New band from Manchester? But they so far have impressed with the music- We shall see if they stand the test of overplaying.
Metallica: And Justice for All- especially One.  I love that song!
