random inspiration points

(make sure you pause the ipod to your right>>>>ha, like you never do. :)

Okay, so this is inspiration at it's finest and I had to share.....

We recently went to see Death Cab For Cutie at The Fabulous Fox Theater and it was fabulous. We have these super fun friends that live INTOWN and they are our show-seeing, music-loving, scene-knowing, hip-being, beer-aficionado connections to all things that are NOT suburban....
We try to get together whenever someone worth paying $ for comes to town. Our last time together was the eve of New Years Eve for Band of Horses...and, oh, it was grand! But, back to the subject at hand.......

I am not a musician. I live with one. I have a sneaking suspicion that one or more of my children may be one, but, alas...I am NOT one. I wish.......
But that doesn't mean that music doesn't inspire me. If anything, that is just the opposite. I hear great music.... and I want to create something. I see great music.... and I am inspired. I see AND hear AND watch videos of great music..... and I literally have electricity pulsating, zapping, stinging, shooting from my finger-tips. Besides the obvious awe of "wow, these lyrics are amazing!", there is soooo much more! I sit in awe of where the inspiration suddenly comes from. Is it first in the lyrics? Or is it the melody that comes first? Is it the riff? Then how each part comes together to fit perfectly. Then you add a music video with this kind of creative appeal??

COME ON!!!.......you had me at hello. I so could have been a groupie.
