What does feeling "spiritual" mean? Does it involve prayer? How does one become spiritual? When does one feel most connected to a spirit; most like a spiritual being? Finally, where does embracing the human being and the spiritual being meet?
While thousands of self-help manuals, talk show hosts and professional psychologists are available to give their version of answers to the above questions, for some, for many, the readily available quick fix to the infinite question of spirituality is, in a word: music. From Techno to Gospel, to the drum circles at Lawrence’s own Wakarusa Festival, music certainly brings people together on a level of elevatation. With Tibetan thought amoung the ancient philosophies of life, The Tibetan Art of Living deems music as "perhaps the most powerful and universal form of art". Sound is "what fills the broad spectrum of life and finds expression in human thought, which then leads to creative endeavor."

gave indie-rock a much needed makeover, quiet was the new loud, and
genres all but completely disintegrated. Here are some of the albums
that I just couldn’t file away this year:

TEGAN AND SARA w/ NORTHERN STATE
Monday the 5th (The Granada)
Tegan and Sara are identical twin sisters from Canada playing an
angular indie pop-rock concoction which relies heavily on unique
rhythms and instrumental arrangements as well as a knack for
vocal/lyrical interplay that is both poignantly emotional and
refreshingly nonchalant; a sugary guilty pleasure without the hangover.
