Thank You, Michael







I know that Death licks our heels constantly and can claim us at whatever time, yet it's still hard to see people go. Plenty of stories have been written about Michael and I suspect countless more are on the horizon, but as far as I am concerned, it's all about his heart he poured into his music, nothing more. May you rest in a long-deserved peace, brother.

He Who Has Ears To Hear (Let Him Hear)





A Strange Beauty Remixed playlist by MixMasterE

If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die....


We come spinning out of nothingness,
scattering stars like dust.
We rarely hear the inward praise song,
but we're all dancing to it nevertheless.
To praise is to praise how one surrenders
to every tune of the symphony celestial
...

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.


Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.



Who hears music feels his/her solitude peopled at once.


(Selected quotes from Shakepeare, Plato, Robert Browning, Benjamin Britten)

Rockin' Ahead Of Time



I always considered the music of Kenna and Lenny Kravitz way ahead of its time. Their bold and wildly uncompromising blues/soul-driven rock is such a refreshing blast that one feels the urgency to start a revolution--from within. Check out the following playlist which I feel captures the essence of two of rock's most innovative & dynamic artists.
