| 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! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
