WWOZ

Here is a station that's really worth tuning into on those days where life is dragging lazily by. There is anything from sweet southern blues and jazz funk, to carribean or latino folk, or New Orleans' very own crazy Zydeco. I probably sound like an advertisement, but alas. You have to try it out to know why it's great. And it's a public radio station

Dan btw I got to get that sweet sweet Devin Townsend CD from ya.

Eddie Vedder

If you never have before, check out the "Into the Wild" soundtrack by Eddie Vedder. It's an acoustic and vocal exploration of sound and space. The movie itself is filled with monumental outdoor images, which are made even more epic by the music. The lyrics are also a reflection of a youthful idealism that I think everyone has inside them.
"Society
lonely and deep
hope you dont miss me
when i leave"

Down with the man!
