Music Speaks to Me

[elfinia7]

Alright, here is my attempt at creating an original thread.  And is completely random, but I figure what the hell?

I love music, all kinds of music.  I think I have a pretty ecclectic array of music on my iphone and different music speaks to me when I'm feeling different things.  Today feels like a Country Music kinda day so that's what I've got playing on Spotify (love this music sharing tool!).  Yesterday was an electronic dance music kinda day so I listened to the new EDM station, Evolution.  Although, no matter what kinda day I'm having my real music love is alternative rock.  Linkin Park is by far my favorite and I finally saw them in concert 2 years ago and it was awesome!  

Anyway, now I think I'm just rambling so anyone else feel the same way?  What music is speaking to you today?

This is a riot because I turned on Pandora and have it shuffling through my country stations!

I've been on Grace Potter kick today, motivating me to get my work done and reminds me of VT!

I'm watching Pitch Perfect while planning my menu/grocery list for the week.
I love all music. I have so many songs on my itunes/Amazon cloud that I've lost track.

We should do a mix CD like ML did.

My favorite Pandora station is Kanye West.  I just made a Nikki Minaj one the other day that was pretty good, too.

On longish car trips my husband and I will play the radio game. Which is where we set the radio to the scan feature and when it hits a song we stop it. The first person to guess wins a point. It defintely becomes quite competitive as my husband is pretty good And ever since they made that Shazaam app we can now verify the songs we disagree over the answer on.

I have discovered tha the Mumford and Sons Pandora station is the best ever. Right now my 5 year old is obsessed with the FUN. Album, so we have been listening to that non-stop.

 For most of my 20s I attended several shows a week, but I've gotten old and lazy. My 31 year old body can no longer function on 5 hours of sleep and then be productive at work

Ha! I understand completely. We only went to so many concerts last year (3, for the record) because they were on either Friday or Saturday nights. I did, however, score Garbage tix (YAY!!!) this morning, and the show is on a Tuesday night.  We have GA, as well, so my old ass will be taking a vacation day the next day to recover.  But it'll be worth it. Because GARBAGE!  I still want to be Shirley Manson when I grow up.

My iPod is almost all alternative (Smiths, Pearl Jam, Fiona, etc. etc.). I think with the exception of Adele, Regina Spektor, and Amy Winehouse, every artist on there has been around for 20+* years now.

(*SOB! I am Ollllllllld)

This is where I am. Totally out of touch with recent music. Lately it's been Pixies on the computer. And I had a bad time of it when Sarah Records when out of business in 1995   Indie pop love over here. I cannot remember my last show. I think it was Belle and Sebastian ages ago. I wanted to see Magnetic Fields at symphony hall on NYE but that doesn't fly with the kids and I have issues with shows bringing on episodes so I haven't been in forever

I am too embarrassed by my musical preferences to participate in this thread.

Don't be, my tastes vary greatly:)  Even with my love for the darky and twisty that alterna rock brings me, I love me some pop tart, boy band, top 40's goodness.  I won't admit to Beiber Fever but damn it if the boy doesn't produce some catchy hits.  Same for TSwift.

I'm still upset at myself for not going to the NKOTB/BSB concert in Boston last year.  Or was it two years now? 


I wish I could go to more concerts but it seems like all the ones I'm into are so freaking expensive so I have to be choosy.
