Must hear music!
February 2006
I heard him on one of the late shows at night, but didn't know who he was, until I saw his name and likeness recently on iTunes... Matisyahu.. possibly the first Hasidic reggae-rapper. He is an Orthodox Jew who raps in reggae style with some Hasidic chants. Very creative and new. His music has a decidely spiritual undertone with catchy beats and the usual circular rhythms of reggae. It is relaxing, energetic and spiritual all at once. Very uplifting. You should hear it!
December 2005 - Present
Walk the Line, soundtrack to the film, 2005
Soundtrack to the creatively inspiring and brilliant film about Johnny Cash's life, Walk the Line. All songs brilliantly and authentically sung by the stars of the film, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. They do a brilliant job of portraying the musical duo and later, couple in life, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. If you are a fan of Johnny Cash's music, as well as June Carter's music and others of that era, or simply a fan of the film, you must get this soundtrack! Joaquin Phoenix up for Best Actor nomination. Movie up for other Oscar nominations as well. Watch the show on Sunday, March 5th!
Hustle 'n' Flow, soundtrack to the film, 2005
Originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, 2005, and at the Cinevegas Film Festival, 2005, this film about a down and out man finds a way to fulfill his dream and inspire others around him. Star of the film, Terrence Howard, now up for Oscar Nomination.
October, 2005
Just wanted to mention some recently discovered music: The White Stripes, real down-to-earth Detroit or any kind of rock. Recommend the album De Stijl. Also, their new album, Get Behind Me Satan, is a continuation of their hard rock, gritty, down-to-earth sound. Check it out!

The Shadow of the Sun
SHADOW OF THE SUN
As the sun lays its shadow upon your soul
The rays of it take control
Your thoughts are not your own
But to someone else they do belong
Lost you are to the tides of thought
Swirling and whirling inside your mind
Shadow reigns and doubt remains
As the waves of thought engulf your heart

Chimaera
Chimaera
Thou silver-tongued operator!
Dreaming of power, longing for absolution
How inarticulate and glib you are as you chase the chimaera of control…
Taciturn Gorgon, loquacious in turn of mind
Mind the brass lantern of the soul!
