Finally Woken (Music)

I get a lot of requests asking how I get the music I listen to since I don't actually listen to radio. It's been asked enough that I'd thought I'd share where I got the inspiration to listen to the latest, greatest, can't get enough of, record on my iPod and in my car CD player from. The album is Finally Woken by Jem.

I was watching the newly downloaded trailer to Ultraviolet with Mila Jovich-something and directed by the guy who did Equilibrium with Christian Bale and unleashed the martial art, Gunkata to the world. The trailer featured bright, primary, over-saturated colors and Matrix-inspired kung-fu with a really killer song. A quick search on the internet yielded the song, 24, by Jem on the album, Finally Woken. I went to my local library's website and held a copy in reserve. Turns out I've actually heard a few songs on the album before, but it was this song that turned the tide. I made a copy with some additional songs. The track listings are as follows:

Sometimes I'll read an article in a magazine that sounds interesting and will check out the album or I'll see a video or even a commercial. Whatever strikes my fancy. I think people start aging when they they stop listening to the current music or new music. Most people I know stop listening to anything new past whatever they were listening to in college. Anyhoo just a theory. Bopping along in my headphones and sitting in the aisle.
