So right now I'm in the act of revamping my life. I've tried to do it a little bit at a time, but that just doesn't work for me. So I have to do it all at once. Major (sociology), where I live (the elms), social life (more of it for more experiences), webcomics (dropping some that really aren't very good), and one of the biggies: music. That's right. After giving my favorite person all my music, I realized how much junk I really have. Belle Epoque? Klaxons? All the best from India? actually I like that one. Anyway, as I've been reviewing and purging my playlist (that'd be an interesting band: and now...Purging playlists!! (cheer, scream, jump, wooo) I've come across a lot of music that I haven't listened to for a long time. We're talking like high school/before mission. When I got home I just put it all on my computer without really looking at what I was doing. Oh how the memories flooded back. Songs that I thought would never leave my top lists, that I would listen to every day, now just sitting in my library. Why on earth do I have the Spin Doctors? Blues Traveler? Are they still even around? It's like when you clean out your closet and have all sorts of memories.
Granted there are some things I don't know why I have the (Dog Traders? My excuse is that they're the first indie cred I can really claim) but the inconvenience of those are far outweighed (outplayed) but the joy of digging up old gems. So give it a shot. Break out the old cds. Your first cds (Space Jam, I still remember opening up the present and being so excited that I had a cd. That's instant coolness in my book). Those first bands you fell in love with (Lucky for me, i started with Beatles, who not only are still absolutely amazing, they also have more than enough pointless info for me to memorize and take up brain space). Those things that you swore you'd never discount, but now swear you'll never admit to owning (like I'm going to give an example of that here). Pull it all out. Listen to it. And then let me know how it goes. I want to hear back
In other news, I'm working on a project right now in another blog. after a few more posts I'll unhide it and you can let me know what you think. I really hope it works out so I'll need lots of feedback. You can even give feedback to him.

Yeah I know what you mean. When I found Eve 6 again I was ecstatic. But I'm actually doing the reverse of you...instead of purging my playlist I'm trying to expand my horizons. I bought an Erasure CD for a dollar the other day. I'm thinking about picking up some more classical or blues music as well. Good times good times.
And I listened to a guilty pleasure. It's still pleasurable.
