Eddie Vedder and Yoga
I tend to discover music in the most unlikely of places. While the vast majority of my discoveries these days come from surfing the 'Net, I remember discovering The Juan Maclean when I wandered into a teenybopper fashion shop (I had to ask the teenage cashier what she was playing), reggaeton duo Jowell & Randy on the streets of Puerto Rico, and awesome French cabaret/swing/jazz group Paris Combo in French class.
The other day I had the opportunity to rediscover an artist that I thought I knew in yoga class of all places. I'm used to practicing yoga to new age-y albums like Yoga Groove (Soulfood Music) or The Essence (Deva Premal), but I encountered something unexpected in this last class. As class was winding down, the teacher turned up the volume on the small stereo in the corner of the room and I found myself captivated by the haunting melody and lyrics of an utterly gripping and strangely melancholic song sung by a male singer with a slightly husky voice.
The singer sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place him, so after class I asked the teacher who he was. I was shocked to find out that it was Eddie Vedder. The song turned out to be "Guaranteed" off the Into the Wild soundtrack. I'd heard of the album, but not this particular song, and I'm frankly surprised by how long it took me to discover it. But that, I think, is the beauty of music--there's always something new to discover.
Check out a clip of "Guaranteed" below.

a qualified jeweler can tell them apart is if they disassemble the watch and thoroughly inspect it.

finest materials, as close to the real thing as possible. Our replica rolex have genuine sapphire
crystals which exactly like the real thing. Our replica grade 1A copies are even hand-fitted with custom, stainless

Hi Bri, I can relate to the way in which you come across new music. When I first went to France I turned on the TV and saw a video by Gerard DePalmas http://www.amazon.com/Marcher-Dans-Sable-Gerald-Palmas/dp/B00004YMTU
