I can't myself imagine a world without music. i've to listen every day some good songs. Groups like Band of Horses; Morning Runner; Boards of canada; The National; Greg Laswell; James Vincent Mcmorrow; Thomas Dybdahl; Sanders Bolhke; Air Traffic; Radiohead; The Veils; Sigur Rós; Paolo Nutini; Chris Garneau... are some of my favorites. Even classical music (especially piano) like Eric Satie, Dustin O'halloran and Nils Frahm I like.
