M - U - S - I - C

Yes, that's right (yes, yes Kalina, I know what you are thinking about :P).

Music is a very personal thing and I know that we should neither try to persuade nor force people to listen to our favorite music. I know how painful it is when people give you CDs you have absolutely no inclination to listen to :) That's why I will at least try not to FORCE you to be interested in my music :) But still... :P

I've had different times in my life , but actually various kinds of rock music have always been 'closest to my heart'. Any sort of classification is useless here, because people may call the same group's music 'alternative', 'funk rock', 'funk metal' or 'rapped metal'.

So, I'd like to present to you:

BEN KENNEY
For me - an absolute genous. Many people just don't understand what I'm talking about (but Halszka does, cheers), but yes, Ben is just great. I know I talk about him too much. I know my boyfriend is totally bored with Ben, but still :P
Ben used to play the bass guitar in The Roots, an American hip-hop band, now he is a member of Incubus. He also plays in his own group called The Division Group (or Supergrub) together with Ashley Mendel and Neil Evans. Ben has released 3 solo records so far ('26', 'Maduro' and 'Distance and Comfort') which he created all by himself from the very beginning to the end.
Here's 'Eulogy', enjoy :)


GARBAGE
Shirley Manson - she's a star. Girl's power :) My friend from high school said she would buy Garbage's records after seeing covers of their CDs. I don't know why, but I would as well. If you have time and energy you can watch their videos (they are pretty strange and full of androgynous ideas, but still great). One of my favorite Garbage's songs is 'I think I'm paranoid'... it may explain a few things :P Enjoy.


INCUBUS
Yes, Incubus. I started to be interested in them in 2002 I think, when I heard 'Are you in?', but then in 2003 I saw 'Megalomaniac' video and that was the real beginning :) This is 'IT' for me. No more words, just music.
'Anna Molly', kudos.


...and 'Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)' acoustic, a long time ago when Brandon Boyd wore sweaters :)
