"Sunshine, Love Everlasting"

So some of you may not be familiar with Sun Ra yet. Well, he's amazingly eclectic, having recorded with his Arkestra since the '50s, I believe, all the way until his death in the early '90s. This song below sounds little like the Sun Ra record I have, being more "spacey" and electronic, and lacking the free ensemble soloing which I associate with the Arkestra. Still, it's an introduction, thanks to the free streaming site Sarah found.

And if you liked that, you'll love this: (or at least you will if you have tastes like me)

Here's a song by one of my favorite bands of late high school: (not the song I wanted to link, but it was the best one they had)

And here's a song by one of my favorite bands that my friend Matt introduced me to: (again, not the one I wanted, but it was their big single)

Finally, here's a few more for the road: (wish these were more convenient to link)

I was going to listen to all your songs, but I kind of got distracted by the site you linked to. I will listen to your songs eventually, but they have music in Spanish!!!!

Hey! You've already started doing what *I* wanted to do!!! Way to steal my thunder! :)

I guess I can share the wealth, though. I want people to tell me what they love. Saves me the trouble of finding it.
