OMG!  If ever there was an alternative rock group with old souls, it has to be Muse!  I’d never really paid attention to them until the Twilight soundtrack came out, but now I’m probably their biggest fan.  I’ve downloaded every song of theirs that I can find.  Thankfully, my MP3 player lets me choose how I listen to music, so I select by artist and play Muse. 

Their song Blackout has to be the most beautiful alt rock song ever made!   It’s sensuous, soothing, and edgy with a depth of soul like no other.  It continues to roil through my brain long after the music has ended. 

I got the advance ticket notice that they would be in Houston in October with U2.  As much as I love Muse I won’t pay the kind of ticket price that U2 commands; Bono’s ego isn’t that wonderful to me.  So instead, I’ll sit here and enjoy their music in the peacefulness of my own surroundings……at least until they venture out on their own.  (sigh)
