Well, my schedule has gone all loopy. I wound up tracking back the album Symphony of Enchanted Lands, where the song The Emerald Sword inspired me to write my novel. I wanted to contact the band - which seems from its online presence and history to be a much bigger, more famous Italian band than I thought. I guess I'm just not all that active in ( Read more... )

I'm in the same place. I just got in from work and I'm all, "oh no it's already 11!" but I have off tomorrow, and I only got up at noon.
Also, that's really cool about the music! I should check that band out. Although, I've been trying to cut back on my music... I have something like 3-400 cds and even went to try to sell some of them today. Oops.

Oh wow. That's something. I used to seriously envy friends who had several hundred albums -- all the way back to when those were vinyl and would take up enourmous boxes in my friends' rooms. I used to wonder why I didn't wind up getting a good music collection back then. I was working. But the money seemed to trickle out into stupid things that I couldn't remember or enjoy. A lot of it went to clothing that I didn't like, compromise clothes that my grandmother wanted me to get, the least obnoxious of the choices she picked out or the least obnoxious from the stores she dragged me to. Like buying clothes was some kind of treat, versus dropping all the money in a music store and getting started on a good music collection ( ... )

I have a few of those, ones that were follow ups from an artist I liked but didn't live up to their earlier work, or that were something I was into at the time and now listen to only sporadically, but for the most part I still listen to most of them. I once splurged on a 30GB ipod and it was the best thing I ever did...

Oh, then don't trim it too far. Seriously, if most of it is still music you like, you'd miss it if you cut it down too far. I've missed cutting too deep into my books every time I moved and couldn't take all of them with me.
