Music

 

     Music is quite a lovely little thing, in my opinion.  Whether it's jumping around to your favorite head-banging classic or meditating to a new-age instrumental concoction, music offers an amazing array of options for anyone and everyone.  Me personally, I prefer a good deal of differing things.  Sometimes I'll be in the mood for an upbeat rock number and other times I just prefer to turn on a movie soundtrack and listen to the amazing instrumental pieces that often go overlooked by moviegoers everywhere.  Here's just a sampling of links for some of the stuff I find myself drawn to.  Buy it, download it, do whatever you'd like.  Whatever you do, enjoy the music:

 

 

 

My New Flavor of the Week:  The Bittersweets

 

 www.thebittersweets.com  or  www.myspace.com/thebittersweets

 

 

So the guy that's second in from the left in the picture is named Chris Meyers and way back when I spent my first summer ever at Camp Woodstock he was my counselor.  Their sound is really cool, and there's definitely a lot of talent being tossed around in their music.  Chris also has an older solo album called "Tales From A Silent Planet" that you can check out if you think that this music is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
