I'm also a "b" side kinda guy. I've discovered some tight ass trax that way.
Currently, I have listened to a great deal of music.It would blow your mind if you stopped to think about how much music you have listen to, fell in love to/with.My ultimate influence is "MUSIC".It is truly THE universal language (see "Close Encounters of the Third Kind")It can motivate, piss you off, make you laugh, think, love, lust.......influence.
Sounds Like: "There are things that music can do that language could never do, that painting can never do, or sculpture. Music is capable of going directly to the source of the mystery. It doesn't have to explain it. It can simply celebrate it."Marsha Norman
