Feel good music served up family style. They have been to Atlanta once or twice but are typically cavorting around Queens and Manhattan.

Just saw Hem again in Atlanta in Feb '06. They're passionate as ever about their music. Great date night idea.

I rediscovered the Innocence Mission after a 13 year hiatus. Their last album of originals, Befriended is a sweet and simple masterpiece that stirs up emotions I didn't know existed.

I met a writer for Pitchfork in Evanston, Chicago that is also a neighbor of Johnny Rotten - enough said. Great music ideas and free mp3s to play with.

Tom McRae's sound is unique and the cello accompaniment gives him a bit of a haunting feel.

If you are in the mood to relax to ambient music, Emil Gagliardi's Detaching the World series lives up to it's name.

Some options for increasing awareness, spirituality and plain old fun are available on this page, so check back often.
