I haven't listened to this album in a long time. I think maybe it has grown on me very slowly. But I have been rediscovering bands I listened to maybe once or twice than set aside...Though, with all the music I do have, it is almost like discovering new bands ,since, again, this is music I rarely listened to in the past, maybe 2-5 times, some of it.

But, I like obscure music and lesser known. Because sometimes it is just as good as popular music, or, even better...REALLY .

I think somewhere deep in my chart, somewhere in the far reaches of that good old natal, some obscure aspect indicates that I have a love of obscure and even odd art forms, such as music. I guess that would be true, it is not mainstream, really.

What music do you like?

The discussion can deviate of course...naturally. But lets start with music, shall we? Maybe we can continue the trend of always mentioning what we are listening to no matter where the discussion goes, as music can have an impact on mood. It will be interesting to tie in the song a person is listening to with the vibe and mood of the post.

Check out Halou, some beautiful music and lyrics/vocals. The intensity reminds me of Denali but it has an ambient/techno feel to it as well as Indie rock. Arrhythima is the last song on the album and the way the song builds is gorgeous.

And instead of bumping this http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/001600.html

all the time with updates and questions, and since this is a thread all for me, I will write my ramblings here and folks can feel free to comment or, just talk music.

But above thread can continue here, so this quote from the other thread...

carl,
I've been in this situation before. I am the girl, I feel a strong spiritual connection and then "puff" somebody disappears from my life because they are afraid of their feelings.

That is what break my heart into a million pieces.

We, Saggies, understand when somebody doesn't want to be anything but friends. Talk to her, you will feel better too.

Once you are over here, you will see Chinese people who will challenge your (Western) notion and ideas of what a Chinese person "SHOULD" look like.

When you are far north, you get Chinese who are more western looking because it is close to Russia. Or the parts that boarder India, darker than you would expect or Pakistan more middle eastern looking.
