MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!
As you can see by this short list of favorite bands, my taste in music meanders across a wide landscape of sound and textures. I tend to prefer regional independent artists as opposed to mass-market groups and there are some amazing musicians and songwriters out here in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy the daring leap they take with their music.
