this month in music, or my musical phases are very phasy

[seperis]

One of the benefits of Amazon and iTunes slowly but surely expanding their musical offerings is stumbling over stuff I never knew the name of, who it was by, or when I heard it, but still have on carefully preserved tapes from junior high and high school. I don't actually own anything that can play a tape--hilarity--but I can't make myself throw

First, i need to tell you that my car has a *tape deck* (and a radio, that never gets tuned in) and i play tapes every single day, both new comps that i make in the old style, and comps that are 20+ years old. This makes me very happy. Driver picks the music... i also have not one but two 'boom box' type radios in my house with tape decks, and they get used often, as well. i am stubborn, and i love the tape format for so many reasons.

Brothers in Arms is an *awesome* song, for me totally Sam/Dean, but i can see how it could go so many places.

Legends Never Die has been one of my favorite songs since that album came out. Wendy O Williams was *so* much more than anybody ever gave her credit for. Plasmatics should be required listening for anybody interested in the history/evolution of hard rock/metal music. Fantastic band, fantastic people, great story. Legends Never Die i always associate with my dead pet punk rock star, GG Allin, so it's one of those songs that i love so much i can't really listen to it anymore- kinda like Stay Free by the Clash.
But i get really attached and emotional about music. i even make comps to write stories too. Sam and Dean have about three each now...i like doing character studies in songs, or telling the story-behind-the-story for a season.
Boy, do i ramble, or what? LOL
Thanks for posting and giving me the opportunity to do so!
