It is definitely a tricky balance to establish. It is awesome when you can make music that appeals to intelligence and emotion.Quote:

Sweet. I'm going to talk my wife into buying Shane (the drummer) his last two cymbals (his whole set was stolen at one of the gigs they did). We call him our adopted son because he's at our house all the time.Quote:

Music is a great way for us to relax, when we do study or when we read, or when we are at work, music is there. But make sure that whenever you used your mp player or ipod in listening to music,
Please be sure to have the volume normal as hearing to loud music within an hour will damage your hearing.

I guess I will have to look at that on too!Quote:

If you like the Toadies, check out the Burden Brothers. It's Todd Lewis' other band. Obviously different from The Toadies but can kind of grow on you. Try Vampire Weekend for something different.
Do you like any Puscifer or A Perfect Circle?Quote:

A little dated on the video but Astrud is beautiful and the music is timeless.
Dream Theater's new album
In my college days during the late 1960's it was a turbulent time. As with all generations we listened to music that expressed what we felt. This was one of the groups many of us really enjoyed.
The lead singer died this date 38 years ago at the young age of 27. I remember his death well because it was just 3 weeks after my marriage. I don't endorse his self-destructive lifestyle but his music remains great.
I hope you enjoy some of the great music of the late 60's.

Jose did a lot of songs made famous by others that are just as good if not better than the original.
