Comfort music
Whenever I’m in a bad mood or something is bothering me (or even just feeling slightly out of place) it’s nice to know that I always good music to turn to.
My current “comfort” songs are (current, being the last few months at least):
Deftones ft. Maynard James Keenan - Passenger
Dream Theater - As I Am
Machinehead - Aesthetics of Hate
Porcupine Tree - Open Car
I went to Pay to Play at the Armchair last night - a Nirvana tribute show. Yes, tribute show sounds like some crusty band doing some half-assed gig covering good songs badly… but not when you throw the Guile brothers into the mix. On stage, Jason and Sebastian from Zenith were joined by their little brother Matthew and David Hodgson on bass. The performance was ridiculously good; every time I looked away from the stage, I had to check back again to make sure I wasn’t (in some bizarre twist of space-time) seeing Nirvana live somewhere. Playing again April 28 at Mercury Live - I’m probably going to go through again.

Do you have a myspace account? Jon, Tommy’s brother, is an aspiring musician. He had his very first gig last night, in Brooklyn. Tommy is out of town so I didn’t go, no yet ready to find my way to and from Brooklyn alone. Check out Jon’s myspace: http://www.myspace.com/georigalone

Hmmm I might just join you, those guys are absolutely scary musicians.
