With a short review on the musicians, the aesthetic quality of their songs, and why they captivate us, this is your brain, your life, and your weekend on music.

In the beginning it was the noise.

I Am in Need of Music
I am in need of music that would flow
Over my fretful, feeling fingertips,
Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow.
Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low,
Of some song sung to rest the tired dead,
A song to fall like water on my head,
And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow!
There is a magic made by melody:
A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool
Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep
To the subaqueous stillness of the sea,
And floats forever in a moon-green pool,
Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.

Kurt on this song: "if i ran to this, i'd get lost in it and probably run off a cliff by accident ... "
Yonderrrrr
Kelllerrr.
Interesting fact: Keller uses a Gibson Echoplex Delay System when he performs, which allows him to play a riff, record it, repeat it, and then build on that throughout the song. This delay system, of course, is what makes Keller alone sound like a band of eight people.
If you don't have love handles, well... you should get some.
