Listen, I listen to more than hip-hop. Hell, I am even a classically trained vocalist.

Which means that I am very opposed to simply noise. I used to like Korn, for example, because they were about more than noise... all of their psuedo-followers... it just hurts my ears.

Anger is beautiful, if it is used. There is "heart" in any and all emotions. However, I need for music to give me more than anger or aggression. And therefore, when I look at it, it doesn't speak to me....

Now, as far as punk, you might wanna look at Patti Smith. Especially her album _Horses_ which is brilliant and _Easter_.

Peace, Eric,

Quentin
