how music helps me. ALOT.

now this hasnt exactly got much to do with my project..but its a peice of music that i find to be art..not just because i like it..but because of everything around it.

my all time favorate piece of music is Dopsmoker (formerly jerusalm) by a phenomonal band call Sleep. ( i like it so much i got it tattooed on my ribs afew years ago)

the reason i like this song/album so much is simple..EVERYtime i put it on..i listen the whole way through..now the album is one song 63m:31s long...and i never get sick of it..the song is big..heavy (not in a scream your lungs out whitechapple way,more a physicly heavy) and it fills space,aural space...so heres a link to the best album of all time

also,the artist who does all of Sleep and High on Fire's (Matt pike's<guitar>other band) album covers and posters is Arik Ropper..he does some amazing things with ink and water colour
