Daily Vitamin
I find myself not getting tired of songs but wanting a new sound or anything to reawaken my interest. Recently, while searching through iTunes, I came across The Vitamin String Quartet. Being a "band kid" you wouldn't think I would be into the whole orchestra thing, but this group blew my mind! So here's how it works, take a popular group like Coldplay and replace the vocals, keyboards, and guitars with classical string instruments and there you have it! Classical music isn't for everyone, but this group is classic meets modern. The VSQ allows you to fall in love with your favorite song all over again. The quartet not only puts their own spin on the classics but they also have a few original compositions that are just as good. If your are just starting out I would recommend Bittersweet Symphony, Clocks, and Undertow; if you are not a stranger then you are one of the lucky ones who has discovered the awesomeness that is the VSQ. Happy Listening =]

Great idea, Meagen! This is going to be very enlightening for me as I have not yet "discovered the awesomeness that is the VSQ."
