5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
1
Captain Beyond, Captain Beyond
A blast from my youth, I think this is one of those perfect albums. It flows so well from beginning to end.
2
In A Silent Way, Miles Davis
Hard to pick just one album by Miles. This album marks the beginning of fusion. This album centers me. I listen to it when I need to calm my mind.
3
Ágætis byrjun, Sigur Rós
A Sonic masterpiece. I love to listen to this very loud, to feel all the quiet moments. This record takes me to another dimension.
4
Zen Arcade, Hüsker Dü
This album means a lot to me. At 40 years old, it still holds up. It was a turning point for all of us. A metamorphosis for the band, and for music. It’s got a little bit of everything that Hüsker meant to me.
5
Dying To Smile, UltraBomb
I love this album, and I really love creating music with this band. There are a lot of personal songs here for me.
