Attention: Andrew
Okay. I can't do it. This list thing? No way in hell I can choose six songs to be my favorites. I'm not even sure I can name six favorite bands, which I think we must agree is easier. But everything is so different. To be honest, the new stuff I listen to doesn't really reach to me the same way the old stuff did. But the old stuff is, well, old. And I know what it sounds like already. So I've been exploring new things all afternoon and I'm getting stuff I like, but no real satisfaction. Is it just me or is everything either blippy-pop or "old-school" these days? Can no one innovate with actual instruments? Bother.
Anyway, if anybody's got something worth listening to, I'd like to hear it. New music is another of my things that's fallen by the wayside during these last two years or so, and I'm about ready to make some new discoveries again, if the scene so allows. (Okay, Andrew, you're off the hook now.)
I guess I really don't like listening to same-old same-old very long. There are some bands that really stay with me, that I can count as my favorites from the minute I hear them to at least this minute now. But I like to keep the ol'playlist circulating. (There are disagreements to be had here.)
Anyway, on a completely different tack, I've just finished talking to an old (girl)friend through the wonders of AIM. She said, and I quote:
me (12:49:49 AM): I start "real" work in July, and until then I'm sort of just sitting around my house
her (12:49:53 AM): let me guess you are getting married
me (12:49:59 AM): haha . . no
me (12:50:03 AM): are you?
her (12:50:03 AM): really?
her (12:50:05 AM): no
her (12:50:10 AM): but i am seeing a guy
me (12:50:18 AM): what do you mean, really? NO i'm not getting married
her (12:50:34 AM): what the hell. who's this guy?
me (12:50:35 AM): i thought that a guy would have proposed to you by now
Now if that's not fucked up, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what is. P.S.: "A guy would have proposed to you by now"?? Yes, it's all just a race to the altar now.
I don't even know that I should post that, but whatever.
I guess it's not that weird. It's all personal. But it's a doorway to the next phase, I guess: the Phase where That is Not That Weird A Question, I Guess.
If You Don't Keep In Touch.
Damn, I totally meant to write more but it's all weird in here now.
