I added a couple of links to the Links page.  It looked pretty empty and I wanted a place where we could share any of the music we’re interested in at the moment.  

To me, listening to other bands has always been a kind of fuel to add to the fire.  Often, I’ll hear little things in other people’s music that I’ll note and want to use whenever I play.  Sometimes it even happens subconsciously.  I’ll play something and, in listening to it later, I realize that it’s been influenced from someone else’s work.  

Anyways, most people that know me would probably note that I change my musical interests on almost a weekly basis.  One week, I’ll be listening to a style of music that’s totally chill and relaxing, the next I’m solely listening the loudest, most abrasive stuff I can find.  It all depends on my mood and how I feel like influencing it.  

Recently, I’ve been train commuting into DC which can be a harrowing experience at times.  People are rushing back and forth everywhere and in every direction.  Everyone’s got somewhere to be and they’re all trying to get there as fast as they can, myself often included.  However, in this commotion, there’s an excitement that’s hard to explain.  It just feels so “metropolitan”.  

In an attempt to try to keep myself calm amidst this mass confusion I’ve been listening to some more relaxing stuff, or at least stuff that seems to flow with the movement of the crowd.

Anyways, check it out and feel free to post your thoughts.  Thanks.
