a little while ago some of my own personal tomfoolery with gnu/linux somehow left me with a large amount of freespace on my harddrive.. in fact... it left me with an entire blank harddrive. needless to say there was much punching, kicking, drinking, and cursing that followed. the most difficult loss? my music collection; it was truly a beautiful, organic creation. my playlists read like poetry

but anyway, to get to the point: i was working on rebuiling my music empire and was getting a few readiohead cd's (cd's that i of course own, but have long since lost) when i stumbled upon a torrent of The String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead, Tool, A Perfect Circle, (unfortunatly) Coldplay, and a Best Of set of tracks.

now, i've always been a sucker for well coordinated strings... but this collection was really something else! it's just fantastic and i can't explain how excited i am that i've stumbled upon this catagory of popular quartet covered music. Some of the APC tracks are simply amazing, and hearing most of the radiohead songs put to strings is equally excellent.

anyone else have a listen to a few of these? and why do i feel like such a jackass for only finding these now . i'm getting a few more quartet tracks, such as a few from the Requiem for a Dream sountrack as performed by the Kronos Quartet.

STRING QUARTET TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA!

It's really great, I must say. So much yet so little dignity.

Actual Hawthorne Heights lyrics:

"And I can't make it on my own/Because my heart is in Ohio/So cut my wrists and black my eyes/So I can fall asleep tonight, or die/Because you kill me/You know you do, you kill me well..."

Check. (Please present your evidence of Atreyu suckage. I'm sure there's plenty.)
