For "those" days

Sometimes-well, very often, we have those bad days. I've felt feelings I wish I never knew existed. I, along with most of the rest of the world are in need of a medicine. And that's where music comes in. To me, when I hear something so beautiful I can't help but forget my struggles and concerns for a moment and get lost in melodies. Contrary to many others who turn to loud screaming music for comfort or release of pain, I usually chose something different. Pandora and I have become very good friends over the past months (it's easy to do, just sign up for free http://www.pandora.com/) I put in one of my favorite slow "pretty" bands-Sigur Ros, and recently came across a band called,  Palaxy Tracks. I can't remember exactly what I was doing at the time, but I paused and was surprised at the feelings I was getting from the music. Love. Haha, cheesy maybe, but it was that feeling that sends you into a comfortably numb and blissful state. I immediately bookmarked the band and have been casually listening to their stuff. The founding members of indie rockers Palaxy Tracks -- Jason Masters, Greg Wallace, and Brandon Durham -- originally came together in Austin (keep Austin weird!) under the name the Seven Hundred Club in late 1995. In 1997 they changed their name to Palaxy Tracks, and by 2000 they had their first album. Palaxy Tracks has similar qualities of Radiohead, The Little Ones, and Early day Miners. I also would compare them a bit to Sigur Ros and Explosions in The Sky because of their relaxing tone. I strongly suggest them for the next time you are having one of those days. Thank goodness for melodies that can take me out of reality for a while.
