Music
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
--Friedrich Nietzsche
While classical music is my favorite, I really love a
wide range of music. I'm also addicted to playing the world's coolest
instrument (aka the French Horn!) and I still
play a little piano.
Here's a list of some of my favorite artists and composers and the
recordings I own by them.
New Age and Rock
Broken
The Downward Spiral
Further Down the Spiral
Head Like a Hole (imported single)
Pretty Hate Machine
Sin (single)
Natural Born Killers soundtrack
