lauralhEvery time I end a job I bring in this ancient hard drive which still works like a dream, and I copy the music I download onto it. I then never listen to it, since it's just acres and acres of "singles". But now I'm not downloading 4+ mp3s a day and just sorting through this stuff from my last job. Anyway it's totally weird to me how much stuff I rated 4-5 stars that I now am rating 1-2 stars. I really really can barely stand jangley guitars anymore. If you don't have 7 instruments - or 7 pedals on each guitar - I ain't gon' listen.
Hilariously enough, I just realized yesterday that the only pop song I noted last year - I mostly listen to KEXP, The End, or JackFM while driving once a week, but once in a while I put on C89.5* - was "Poker Face," by Lady Gaga. I had basically been hiding under my covers from Lady Gaga all of 2009, but I totally listened to about 6 versions on YouTube yesterday. OK the hype is all true.
* For nonlocals, KEXP= indie rock, The End= grunge and Muse, JackFM= your used-to-be-hip older brother's MP3 collection
