The Maiden Voyage of the Music on the Brain Train

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Music on the Brain, my music blog. I have started this because...well, I've got music on the brain. So for those of you who want to know, this is what I'm into right now.

The Airborne Toxic Event- I love this band! If you've never heard them, here is how I would describe them: 2 parts The Cure+ 1/2 part Radiohead+ 1 1/2 parts string quartet+ a pinch of Morrissey+ 3 parts something unique and indescribable=Airborne Toxic. Their songwriting is fantastic, both musically and lyrically. I dig the strings. I bought their album (they only have one out) over a year ago, and I still listen to it on a very regular basis. They are currently in the studio working on their next album, and I am quite stoked to hear it. Click here for a video of one of my favorites.

It's less than a week until I get to see Blue October again! I even get to see them twice! Once at an acoustic show in a teeny tiny venue (somehow, the planets lined up just right and Kelly and I were able to score tickets in the 5 seconds before they sold out) and then again 48 hours later on the Pick Up the Phone tour. I don't think the word "excited" covers it. If you continue to read my blog, you will most definitely be hearing more about these guys.

Thanks for reading! There will be lots more to come in the future, so stay tuned.
