Flying again... oh my ears!

Flying across the USA in daylight, never failing surprise at the vast, enormous areas of uninhabited wilderness. Desert, mountain, forest, snowfield, lake. It's beautiful and its wild and its crazy how people cram into tiny city apartments and traffic jams.

Sacramento to Chicago. Midway to East coast. Soundtrack: metal spinning, and then I created a random new one:

Shinedown, 45
Linda Sharrock, Until you come back to me
Calvin Russell, I gave my soul to you
Radiohead, Creep
Picture Me Broken, Mannequins 
Richard Peikoff, Mirrors
Pearl Jam, Breath
One-Eyed Doll, Liar
Sinead O'Connor, Nothing compares to you
Mumford and Sons, The Boxer
Marillion, When I meet God
Marylin Manson, Sweet Dreams. 

Steve H, Marillion

The mix was a tad insipid. Good songs, good musicians, but it came across a little flat. After that? I needed more H, more Marillion, and more Ivan Moody. You need strong vocals to cut through the plane-pressure hearing loss!

Ivan Moody, Five Finger Death Punch
