Music. The final frontier. These are the voyages of my aural senses… Their on-going mission: To explore strange new sounds, to seek out new music and new artists, to boldly listen to what no man has ever listened to before… (Yep, I’m a geek.)

As humans, most of us fear the unknown. We need to fill in any gaps in what we cannot understand with perception, presumption, and previous experience, regardless of accuracy, just so we can sleep at night.

This human, in reference to music, craves the unknown. It is one of my biggest pleasures to find a song that one of my friends has never heard before and grace their ears with its presence; to experience the unexpected and rare instance when I find a new song that I feel the need to repeat about 50 times in a row because it’s THAT good. Like comets and solar eclipses, they don’t happen very often but when they do I always think to myself, “That was totally worth the wait.” It is those songs that form our life’s soundtrack. The ones that come on and you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing the first time you heard it. They bookmark your life.

I hope that my followers hear some songs on here that make them feel that way. And if not, I’ll just keep trying…

The Sweet Unknown.
