Sobre mim

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
Plato

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”
Aldous Huxley

These are the music genres I've been listening to during the last seven days:



“There is no feeling,
except the extremes of fear and grief,
that does not find relief in music.”
George Eliot

Sergei Rachmaninov



“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”


Cloudspotter's latest tweets

"We are a spectacular, splendid manifestation of life. We have language. We have affection. We have genes for usefulness, and usefulness is about as close to a 'common goal' of nature as I can guess at. And finally, and perhaps best of all, we have music."
Lewis Thomas


Here are the tags representing the Top50 artists from my overall charts and the 'open mind ratio' created on this basis:

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php

"Music is the universal language of mankind."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Music connects people all over our little planet. :)
Visitors since March 16, 2008:



"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music."
George Eliot
