Becoming A Transcendental Lobot

According to Wookiepedia.com, "Lobot was the chief administrative aide to Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian on Cloud City over the planet Bespin. His brain was connected to the city's central computer which allowed him to communicate directly with the city's computer network. In this capacity, he served as the city's first and only computer-liaison officer."

What the wiki doesn't 't tell you is that his electronic ear covers that connected him to the network also doubled as the most bad-ass set of headphones ever created...

The majority of Lobot's time was spent listening to future sounds -- Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Billy Joel, Sara Brightman, Eddie Vedder, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Queen, Styx, Kanye, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin.  And when he went home at night, his mind was taken to a different place - transcended - all because of the deep musical tones in his headphones.

Welcome to my blog.

This is an opinionated journey through your inner-ear aboard the magical tone-ship that is your music library.  Dissect, discover and connect with music on a different level.  Agree.  Agree to Disagree.  It's my belief that a person can not say for certain that they like or dislike a song until they've listened to it - from start to finish - through a pair of noise-canceling headphones.

Hopefully, from time to time, my blog can open your ears to some new music, introduce you to a new band or maybe just a new song from a band you already know.  I intend to update the blog at least once a week - hopefully more.  We'll see how it goes...

Would love to hear feedback, suggestions, ideas.  I'm also always looking to check out new music / new bands.  If you have someone you like, drop me a line.
