Thanks Mehul for the invite! I have to admit I haven't been on Brazen in a long time. I love music and love sharing local music favorites. I'll be checking out the suggestions!

Can music say something without lyrics? Do some songs say one thing with their music and something else with their lyrics? I feel like I run across these types of songs ALL the time....
Or maybe, the music says something different to everyone, and when the song/piece was originally written, it wasn't innately hypocritical...
Any songwriters want to comment?

Some would say that the music "gained a life of it's own." But the notes didn't change. I think the way we interpret them change over time and from person to person.
Becky: Maybe innately hypocritical should be reserved for extreme examples, such as the one described by Diggory. I find subtle hints of these kinds of songs quite a bit.
Diggory: Perfect answer. That's exactly what I was thinking. But I've heard songs of the opposite scenario as well. The lyrics are happy and beautiful, but the music is slow and dreary.

I want to add/organize a music element to my personal brand because music is a big part of my life and lifestyle. What services would you recommend to build this?
A vanity url (service.com/username) is preferred. And connectivity to music on my harddrive via iTunes is preferred.
So far last.fm fits all these. I'm wondering if you know of any other ones?

I went with last.fm. Especially since it will import my listening habits and build a profile from that, instead of me having to do any work.

I went to highschool with one of the girls in the band called Maplewood Lane. It's sort of indie -soft rock-ishness. Here's a link http://www.myspace.com/maplewoodlane

When I was at the University of Chicago, I saw a formative concert for me at Logan Square Auditorium: Ponys, Black Lips, and Mannequin Men. Mannequin Men, opening in Chicago for years, were the best of the bunch, despite the name recognition of others. They've released a couple of truly exceptional albums that have gotten some national traction, but they're best known in Chi-town. I became friends with them through coverage; they're just as sincere in person as on stage: http://mysp.ac/h39drN

This is old-school, but Stars by Hum was my high-school anthem and the band was local to Champaign-Urbana, IL. Let's see, I met Ant from Atmosphere once in Madison, WI so I will include Always Coming Back to You and Guarantees by Atmosphere as Midwest-rap favorites. I can't think of any more at the moment, but will be back... :)

I went to high school with the lead guitarist, and I'm really impressed with these couple songs. Make sure you listen on a high quality speakers. It's worth it.

I'm attached to this one because not only do I know Lane Weaver, I know the people who make his videos and star in the videos. They're extremely well made, to say the least. Would never have expected it 3 years ago:
