Music

I have lately been on a real 90s-bands kick (actually not lately, pretty much forever). I just love those bands of the mid to late 90s. Third Eye Blind, Vertical Horizon, The Wallflowers, Goo Goo Dolls. These are the types of bands that really embodied (started?) the "Alternative" genre of music that just has that certain sound you can't quite define. They have a hit on the radio once in a while these days, but they've largely faded from the spotlight. They're still making great music though!

Vertical Horizon's most recent CD, Go, is awesome. It's even better than their first "big" one, Everything You Want, which is hard to beat. Great guitar solos, and a unique fusion of rock with pop influences that puts you in a good mood but still manages to skirt the dreaded Pop-Masquerading-As-Rock category. If you have the means to get your hands on it, I would highly recommend it. It's one of those CDs that is just perfect to play while you're in the car on a nice day, with the windows down...
