Don't you love it when you find music on your own? I mean the music that you don't find in the bins at Best Buy- Music that some marketing guy in the Record Industry hasn't put a demographic on and spent a gazillion dollars to make sure that you buy this CD.
I am finding that there is a lot of great music lately, special finds- stuff that is eclectic and non-mainstream . For years, my wife and I have bought music from artists directly- at art fairs and at dances. Lately, through Google alerts and now through Blogging I am finding more "unheard music" that is rich, exciting and layered. I found Union of Knives (Glasgow) and Supercar (Japan) through Google alerts. Now I found The Muses through blogging.
The Muses are a acapella group that hails from Asheville NC. I have only heard some samples of their work, and all I can tell you is that these ladies are amazing. I have posted a link to their website. I encourage you to go listen to them. Its a mixture of world, modern, folk, celtic and choral chamber music. It's the lind of the stuff you put on when you have had a long day at work and need to relax and slide into the weekend.
So what are your favorite "found" music groups?

Hey do you remember the Poison Girls? Now they were a great band but I havent heard of them for years.
I am keeping my eye on this blog. I sense that I might get some good tips on music.

Was into some of the LA punk bands of the day- Black Flag, Circle Jerks, X- Saw Exene, Doe and Bonebreak last year at a Knitters concert- They still sound great- good show
You are only as old as you feel sweetie! 60 is the new 45!
