Nice article...thanks for posting Donnel. Yeah, no doubt music is the intangible tangible, and no need to go into it's most powerful influence as listener and as a writer/performer...very real transformation that takes place on many different levels stimulus-wise, with the succinctness of past references that get stirred up via the olfactory nerves/sense of smell...vision gives you the immediacy and the awe, but sound and smell are like warp drives.

Here's another fun one... this one is about a guy who was the fourth member of Nirvana and also played for Soundgarden right before both bands went huge.
