<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-why-music">
<p>
What's so important about moving air? Why do we feel so much from so
little? The reason is the way the brain uses its senses to wonderstand
the world around it. Brains use large amounts of inner connected
components that serve very abstract uses. By routing information to
different parts using a high amount of innerconnectedness it can process
information in a exponential amount of ways. By sending carefully
choosen information to send to the senses you can take advanged of the
way it processes information to show whats really going on under the
hood and to cause it to route data in ways it normally wouldn't. Music
guides the geist through this chaotic complex world and shines light on
many parts of the mind and universe.<br />

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of
energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla

If you don't know who they are than you disapoint me. About the closest
I have to an all time favorite. When I was first learning guitar a
family friend showed me The Doors and showed me how to play a doors rift
on guitar. At first it look me to get deeper in their music but they
have always been with me no matter where I go in life. A lot of artists
haven't continued to bring me joy as my taste changes in the same way as
The Doors. If you asked me my favorite doors song I would say all of
them.<br />
<br />
If you dig The Doors please check out Ray Manzarek's solo work. His solo
album The Golden Scarab is my pick for one of the most criminally
underrated albums of all time.

Many people call him a Jimi Hendrix copy but he they are wrong. While
there are crossovers he does have his own style that is different From
Jimi. His old albums, new albums… are all master pieces. He only
continues to age like wine and is still making new music to this day
without selling out or sounding dated.

<p>
This list isn't complete without him. Jimi is like Santa, Jesus, Abraham
Lincoln… its a requirement you know who he is. Just take a look at
every artist after he got big. Jimi's greatness leaked into all music.
His influence can't be stopped by any granfalloon borders. His influence
quickly leaked into even countries that were cultural isolated from the
west. Check out Super Djata Band to see what I mean.<br />

Most places say he died from overdose but that is a lie! He was murdered
by his manager who was upset that Jimi wanted to take a break from fame
and focus on himself instead.

actually exists and prog pop is what The Moody Blues is. Go listen to

thats because they are carefully created works of art. Their most well

People will think your crazy if you tell them to check out this band,

It showed me a side of music I haven't gone into before than. I was
listening to Led Zeppelin and that shit before I discovered the depths
of fusion and prog waiting for me. The best parts of life is when you
discover something new and fall deep into the depths of a rabbit hole.
Thats when the world opens up and you start to think differently and
open your mind. Thats why its good to try new things. I wouldn't be who
I am today without that push from Mahavishnu Orchestra. They are a
different breed of jazz fusion than the stuff most fusion fans are use

You jazz peeps already know Miles Davis. If your a song writer of any

good example of how to use space in music to open things up and close
them down. Compare his works and you will see what I mean. While I
haven't dug into his stuff much I really dig his album Bitches Brew. Its
very different than the smooth easy on the ear stuff people often think
of when it comes to Miles Davis. Its closer to Mahavishnu Orchestra.

it was often a mix of alt rock and EDM that was quite fitting for a
programming class. He gave everyone rubber ducks so we can have an
inanimate object to use to ask for help. He always called himself a
lizard person and was a Doctor Who fan. I assume this is a universal
experience and everyone had a CS teacher like this. He must have been a
standard issue factory made CS teacher because if a mad man with a bow

I know what your thinking <i>its that band with songs that always sound
the same and has sore throat sounding vocals</i>. Well they were not always
like that. In their early days they had a better vocalist: Bon Scott.
And they fucked around with different sounds a lot more.<br />
<br />
These are the Bon Scott era albums:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>High Voltage</li>
<li>TNT</li>
<li>Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap</li>
<li>Let There Be Rock</li>
<li>Powerage</li>
<li>Highway to Hell</li>
</ul>
<p>
Powerage and Let There Be Rock are my favorites out of all of them.
Powerage was my first CD I ever got and I keep going back to it all the
time. Its their best album by far. RIP (rock in pleace) Bon Scott.

I dont listen to them much anymore but they had a big influence on my
guitar playing. One of my favorite albums by them is Tejas. Its a very
underrated album. I dig the darker more ambient tone of Tejas. Also go
listen to their first album. Its completely killer!

While many think Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all time many
more enlighted people pick Jeff Beck. Not that Jimi is bad or anything
but holy fuck Jeff Beck can really play guitar. He puts soooo much geist
into his music and makes the guitar sing in a way no one else can. I
still have my own pick for greatest guitarist though.

I was in a music store with some friends and one of their records was
playing in the store. Later, I wished I bought it so I went back and
they no longer had the record. They don't have very much released and
seem to be dead. They don't seem to have much of a following and they
website is down. You can find it
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130826202218/http://tipsy.org/">here</a>
on the wayback machine.

They are a electric band that uses DIY synths made from miltary surplus
radio gear along with other shit. Not really something I would care to
jam to much but still a good band.
