Discovering New, Really Really Good Music

You know that instant when you first hear a brand new song, and you suddenly-- instinctively, just know that it's going to be good? 

That's where I am.

You immediately feel it pulling you in-- the bass pulsing in your hands and the melody curling around your head, captivating your imagination and tapping into your core as you find yourself singing along to the chorus only halfway through. Maybe it's the question presented by a thoughtful piano or the determination of a frustrated guitar-- the seduction of a drum's hearbeat or the quiet whisper of an introductory violin-- there's something unearthly about it, beyond the lyrics-- a thrill and a smile and a fluttering rush that tells you "This is amazing."

This is music.
