Other Music Blogs: My Revelations

Dear All.

Looking at the other blogs I found some things which I really like now:
On Andrew's blog, The Best Thing Next To Silence Is Music, I learned of the band Lettuce. I looked it up, and it turned out to be one of the funkiest bands with a huge amount of groove. Lettuce is tribute band started at Berkley School of Music, which is probably how Andrew knows it, that plays covers of old funk and soul songs. I just adore them from now on.
On Joran's blog, Music Begins Where Words Run Out, I read about a song that I already knew, but never paid that much attention to: Fire and Rain by James Taylor. I have always preffered Traveling Star and Shower the People by that singer, but Fire and Rain can now share itself among those. It is a beautiful song, and I cannot understand how I can have missed it. I think it is great how Joran explains the song, and I totally agree on his opinion on the choice of instruments.
Last I read on Coen's blog, Music the God ff Silence, about the song Breakeven by the Script. I had heard this song a few times, and I knew the band already. Still, Coen made me listen to it in a different way. He and I (and Andrew and Joran) listen to music in a similar way, focussing more on the different aspects of a song, but this time his way was different. Through his explanation I rediscovered the song.
There were of course some songs that I did not like at all. Some of the Hip Hop songs for example, especially the Dutch ones. It is not that I do not like Hip Hop, but Dutch Hip Hop just does not work for me.
Looking at all the blogs, overall I think that our group has quite a good taste of music!
