Musings About Some Muses

First off, all I can say about the band Muse is: yes, yes, and yes.

I came on board the Muse bandwagon late, but I'm all up on it. I started buying up all their music, but I got to see them open for U2 last year....holy crap. I don't know that there's a better live band anywhere, and all I got was an 8-song sample. Now, U2 put on a perfect show, and the experience of their show was the best ever...but dang...Muse...if you ever get the chance, even if you don't like them much or aren't familiar w/ them, GO see them!

Now, enough gushing. Do your duty as a citizen of earth and go by their cds.

There's something about the song "Uprising" that really gets me going."They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious." But if you hear nothing else by them, there's a 3-part "symphony" at the end of their latest cd. The last part leaves me shaking my head. Finally, someone successfully combined classical music w/ rock!

I suggest starting out w/ "Absolution" though. From start to finish, it melts your face. Even the slower stuff.

So, right now, Muse is my musical muse...this blog brought to you by the letter "M".

As far as my real-life muse? Well, I'm still trying to find one. I think she's hiding. Or maybe she's right in front of me. Or maybe she's the one I keep seeing peeking out of the bushes. I'd love to have a real-life muse.

You can send your applications, resumes, and/or suggestions directly to me.

Plug in baby!
