I'm trying to introduce myself to different music. I have a lot of opportunity at work considering we're all musicians and there is a library branch down the street. My most recent "discoveries" are Satie, Herbie Hancock, and some random funk. The bass teacher will be giving me some mp3 cds next week. I'm curious to see what he puts on them. I only know I'm getting some Zappa for sure.
I've decided my favorite album of all time is "Takk..." by Sigur Rós. This was a very difficult decision for me. I'm not even sure Sigur Rós is my favorite band, but that album is so wonderful. I think what sealed it is that I can't imagine my life without it. If I could, I would wrap myself in this album like a blanket and never come out. I doubt anyone is actually reading this, but if you're curious, I recommend listening to at least "Glósóli," "Hoppípolla (which can be heard in some "Slumdog Millionaire" commercials)," my absolute favorite "Saeglópur," and "Gong." Those are tracks #2, #3, #6, and #8, respectively. The videos for "Glósóli" and "Hoppípolla" are fantastic, but I don't recommend the video for "Saeglópur" since it's such a downer. Heck, just go to their website http://www.sigurros.com
