Here is a taste of what I'm currently obsessed about in the music world.
Artist: Apocalyptica Song: Nothing Else Matters Why: Apocalyptica does instrumental covers of Metallica songs with cellos instead of electric guitars. Both rock and classical music fans look at me as if I'm crazy when I say this music is wonderful, but once they listen to it they are hooked. The music still has that intensity people love from Metallica, but with a richer, more haunting sound than almost anything you'll find in both genres today.
Artist: Jack Johnson Song: Banana Pancakes Why: Doesn't everyone get tired of every love song talking about the "wanting" stage but not the actual established relationship? Jack Johnson's acoustic music is as comfortable and intoxicating as a lazy Saturday morning. it makes me feel happy just listening to it.
Artist: Jekyll and Hyde Broadway Soundtrack Song: Confrontations
Why: The song is chilling. Jekyll and Hyde, who is really one person in a split personality, battle verbally over the possession of their soul(s.) When you listen to it, keep in mind that both characters are played by the same actor.

My jaw dropped when I heard of someone doing a cello cover of Metallica. Two of the greatest things have come together. That makes me happy :-)
