Music

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon in my life. Up until my mission, my taste in music leaned over more to stuff like Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park etc. It never went as far as stuff like Pantera, but a rocking guitar always put me a good mood. I still listen to that sort of thing, but only in one place, the gym. I always get kinda bored in the gym, so music like that tends to get the adrenaline going and it makes the workout seem much shorter.

Fast forward to after the mission. My friend Ryan introduced me to Sigur Ros, and ever since then, my music taste have done a 180, and now I listen to some of the most chill music I can find (my mom says it sounds depressing at times). For me, it does wonders to the stress levels as well as just leaving me in a good mood when it's over. Here are some examples:





I also listen to a lot more stuff like Radiohead now. This is one of my favorite/favourite songs from them: (I like the guitar later in the song)



Also, if you live in the US, I highly recommend you go to www.pandora.com . It's a great place to discover new music. If you don't live in the US, then this site will be blocked off for you. You can blame the record industry for that.
