What everyone is talking about

I was going to post about the Emily White post, but I think I'd rather talk about things that I like about music and, despite the finances involved, the reasons I keep making it.
I really like the Sigur Ros album, Valtari.  I think my favorite track is the last one, Fjogur Piano.  I love the melody and the places it goes.  It's a very nice trip away for almost 8 minutes.  It's rainy and grey right now in Seattle, so the escape is very nice.
