If you have musical suggestions for this site that you wish me to consider, please e-mail me.

I do lack an interest in that sort of characterless "new age" music that is meant to be "neutral background" -- as music by my definition is NOT neutral. And, slap me with a wet noodle or a sloppy trout for "political incorrectitude" or whatever, but I still don't muster much enthusiasm for Enya.

The hyperlinks on some of the musical endeavors listed below lead to my commentary, reviews, or inspirations based on the performance in question. I'll be adding more commentary down the road. I'm mostly just getting them listed for now.
