A month is gone, and this withered spring is spent in an odd state, as if the world is very small and I can observe all of its happenings and walk its circumference in a few steps. I feel very tall, and very alone. My feet are stuck here on the ground, but my head is forever in the stars, miles and miles high. Never want to come down. Not as far as

I miss you, Crystal. I wish we weren't a thousand miles apart. And yes, there are a few bands I've come across. (I've been writing music, too. I really hope I can get a stable situation to finalize things and begin recording. Then I will send it all to you.)
Try some Modest Mouse. The albums "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks" and "The Moon and Antartica" are where I would begin. Seriously, their albums are like Pink Floyds... one LONG song, like a play. You can't just pick out an act or two. Well, not at first, at least.
Then I would administer a serious dose of The Smiths. Might I reccomend "The Queen Is Dead" and "Meat Is Murder". ::I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar::
If you have not delved too much into the wonderful world of Led Zeppelin, I would try the following songs: Kashmir, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, The Battle of Evermore, The Immigrant Song, the Rover, Houses of the Holy, Custard Pie, and In the Light. (I'd reccomend ALL of it, but those to start.)
I'd keep going, but it'd take up the whole page...

I fricken forgot! Blind Guardian!!! Start with the songs "Nightfall" and "The Fiddler On the Green". Also... Rhapsody! The songs "Holy Thunder Force", "The Last Winged Unicorn" and "The Mighty Ride of the Firelord" should get you going. If you like that, then try some Nightwish.

Hm, looks like there's a lot of stuff to look into. Fortunately, I have already delved deep into Zeppelin - so much that every now and then I get a visceral need to hear it. Did I mention that the live, extended version of Heartbreaker is purely eargasmic? I scowl at my pansy, hippie acoustic everytime that wild solo rips!

p.s. - I used to like Kashmir, but the rock stations here play it to death. It's like, "hello! there are actually OTHER zeppelin songs in existence, too!"
