Just play music
15 October 2009
Here’s a trend I’ve noticed that’s driving me CRAZY.
I almost always listen to the same radio station. I used to like all kinds of music, but now I only like one kind—good. Okay seriously, I’m into alternative. Muse, Jimmy Eat World, Franz Ferdinand, Death Cab, Jack’s Mannequin, Dashboard, Kings of Leon, and so on. There’s one alternative station in town, and my radio is basically always tuned to it unless the DJs are talking and McKenna’s in the car. Then I cut away to CD or something.
During the day, I seem to always tune in during the SAME STINKIN’ SONG. Usually Nirvana or Pearl Jam (sorry, Justin—they don’t do it for me), or for a while it was always “Cath” by Death Cab.
There are a couple songs I’ve really been wanting to hear. Sometime Around Midnight by The Airborne Toxic Event, whatever that latest one is from Kings of Leon, and Meet me at the Equinox by Death Cab off the New Moon Soundtrack. (I know they play that one a decent amount, I just somehow always miss it.)
This last week I’ve been getting snippets of all these songs—when my husband’s alarm goes off in the morning. I get about 15 seconds of the song, and then Ben hits the snooze. Why are they playing all the good music at 6:50am? It’s because during the day they’re preoccupied with giving me their opinions on health care and the war and whether or not Zack Greinke will stay with the Royals. I could take a little less uneducated chatter and more good music, thank you very much.
Now to start up my Pandora station…
I’m into country music, and it seemed like every two minutes I was hearing “Summertime” by Rascal Flatts…it became the theme song to redecorating James’s room because we heard it so often.
