the meaning of life the universe & everything - any ideas?????????????

had to have the vet put down my 14 1/2 yr old golden retriever last night.....then i dug a hole and buried her....my fellow back garden erb & ORB listening "man's best friend" - the lovely annie; last month sat at the bedside of a young sierra hiking friend, the day before he finally died due to brain cancer (he did manage to confirm that the drugs were good though, so i'm looking forward to that stage of my life); and the month before that looking at the body of my daughters 17 year old boyfriend (of 2 years) in the open coffin, who had passed away due to 'an epileptic related disorder'..................but i expect that many of you have experienced far more worst in your own lives.... and the greed and hatred in the world, is there any meaning to that? is there any meaning to life the universe & everything - if so, what is it, please share it with us all?? ....................while all the answers come flying in, can anyone recommend a good tune for me to listen to......... to cheer me up, & get over the loss of some dear friends and inspire me to see the reason to "all this shit", on an upcoming warm musical thc vaporized under the stars summer evening? thank you in advance cheers bbroo p.s. my new pv's produced 4,066 watts, at one point yesterday afternoon........alleluia, a new child is born!.. _________________________________________________________________ Spell a grand slam in this game where word skill meets World Series.

i hear ya jeff. and like i said it's not like i listen to NO new music.... i surely listen to plenty. i'm just saying i'll never push aside these timeless gems just to fill some need to stay current or whatever. and no doubt you'll never find new music or know what's out there if you don't get a taste. personally i let a lot of that "come to me" through good peeps like yourselves. if a particular act gets enough talk on a list like this - that usually prompts me to investigate. i must admit though....it usually takes a GOOD amount of support to get me interested. i wanna hear rave reviews across the board - otherwise...i just haven't the time =()

Well for me personally pretty much all of the music of FSOL is timeless which kinda makes some of the past postings moot in my book. The Isness??? oi....that's imo one of the best albums of all time! I'm surely trapped in the 90s....and the 80s, 70s, 60s too! I listen to plenty of new music but didn't mention it here as i was thinking that more orb-like music is what was being discussed. New electronica, i follow all of the simon posford stuff as well as benji and ott on that label. System 7 just put a new album out that's superb. As for non-electronica.... Medeski Martin and Wood is putting out 3 albums in the next year....i really can't say enough about them if you can stand a degree of jazz in your music. Anyhoo going back to FSOL there's a lot brewing over there! Tons of older stuff is being released and there's also new work on the horizon! As someone mentioned there's peppermint tree and the lost environments 1+2 releases and my understanding is that a full new FSOL album is in the works! Funny though....now that it's been said, i realize i surely listen to more older music than anything. The last "new album" i purchased was a live Zappa gig released by the family trust lol!! But think about it....how often does a gem really come out? If you are listening to *tons* of new music right now i would guess you are listening to a lot of rubbish (personally speaking - no offense here!) in that mix. I'm selective and in my heart all of the music i own is timeless. So trashing that music aside for the sake of feeling the need to hear new acts doesn't really do it for me. I don't feel "trapped" in any decade. I feel like it's 2008 and we have a good 42 years worth of music to sift through to find what connects with each of us deep inside. We should be so lucky! ;)
