Music

My third paper for Senior Seminar in Literature is about The Glass Bead Game, which talks about music a lot. On that note, I need to share with you two CDs that you must listen to and cherish:
Brian Eno - "Another Green World"
The Flaming Lips - "The Soft Bulletin"
No doubt you've heard of these, and heard many people talk about them. "Another Green World will basically mold the shape of your eardrum and your brain. You will not listen to music the same way after this album. Turn out the lights, flop onto the bed, and experience the sensation of jumping into a painting and flying over the landscape. "The Soft Bulletin" is one of the most compulsively listenable and addictive albums I have heard, and maybe the most addictive for me since "London Calling," which is not a statement to be taken lightly. I feel like I'm lifted right off of this concrete planet when I listen to it. Every little feeling lying around inside of you that doesn't have a name somehow comes to life within this album. Just listen to it.
