That was kind of cool, but I guess I am getting older and prefer a time when artists actually played instruments.
Here is a clasic that stands the test of time in my view.

I can see what you mean.......I go through faze's, maybe I'll listen to some Metallica in the moring to wake me up.
and then in the afternoon somthing more current green day (oldish I guess) weezer Robert Delong ect.
then when I'm winding down for bed somthing more relaxed maybe one of the slower beetles songs or the animals.
It really depends on my mood..

How do you guys like to sharpen your Super Blue? Usually I sharpen up to DMT extra fine and stop there. But, I see plenty of people taking their SB to a higher grit and opting for a polished edge. Does SB benefit from a higher polish?

I appreciate the technicality and skill it takes. I have to like the singer's voice, but don't really care about the lyrics much because I honestly don't hear the words and make sense of them. I have some basic rules I developed for fun. No bands with a guy's name in the band (ex. Dave Mathews Band, they suck, exception: Beck) One band guys who do it right: Nine Inch Nails, he does not call the "band" Trent Reznor band. It is also okay to have a side solo project most of the time, like Jack White. No trumpets or other brass or Saxaphone (exception on trumpet: Cake, no exception to date on saxaphone, it just sucks) I also hate sellouts, I fear for The Black Keys because they got some Grammy love this year, and will likely go down the toilet, but Dan Auerbach is one talented guy, so we will see. Mumford and Sons' first album rocked, the second was ho-hum, but again it won Grammy awards this year, and they are done with quality music, they will sellout. Tool and Deftones for example do not sellout, and keep their sound original but different enough to keep it fresh w/out selling out. They also possess two of the absolute best drummers in Abe Cunningham (my personal favortite from the Deftones), and Danny Carey. I could watch Deftones drum covers on Youtube for hours, his beats are very technical and original, he rarely uses the same beat more than once. I really cannot stand much mainstream music because it sucks, and usually listen to sports talk radio in the car. It is the same no-talent crap over and over.
My desire for technicality and talent has led to other genres namely classical music and in particular the Baroque era. Bach is a masterful genius, and Vivaldi is up there as well. I also really like Dvorak, and that is more for the pleasure of the music not technicality, so I am not all skill, and can enjoy something more emotional from the Romantic era as well.
Oddly, I also enjoy some country. Can't handle it for too long, but it is not as offensively awful like mainstream rock. It is easier to have as background music I guess. I particularly enjoy Garth Brooks, I guess because I grew up on it with my older brother listening to it.
Music is another passion of mine, and I have very strong opinions about. No offense to anyone, it affects everyone differently, and I get that. I do try to push what I consider good music on others, it is my duty

This with Spydernation in the Spyderco font/style and my number 905. Anything creative you want to embellish with is also OK by me. Crop as needed but please try to keep the Endura in frame
