A number of years back I thought I had everything figured out, the world, the people around me, my taste in music...well as time as passed I have been forced to face reality and come to terms with that fact that I haven't got all that figured out. In doing so and letting go a little bit I discovered an almost undefinable side to my musical taste that was really invigorating. I went from listening to about 5 groups exclusively, to opening up my mind to all that is available. So from liking nothing but east coast rap and nine inch nails I have discovered an equally intense passion for everything from 60s folk music (thanks to Donovan Leitch) to modern eletronica (Mum) and techno (Richie Hawtin). If I had to choose a favorite group at his point in my existence I would choose "Mates of State", they are truly impossible to genre-ize and their heart, soul and passion is an inspiration to all aspects of my life. Pandora has helped me explore these sides of myself and in turn grow as an individual. I thank you Pandora for your assistance in opening up my mind and in turn my heart and soul.
