Out of the Rut
Music is an extremely important part of my life. I don’t play jack, but I listen obsessively. When I used to buy cd’s along time ago (now I buy mp3-4’s), I would listen to it over and over again until it became a boring sound. The cd’s were great. I practically wore the shine off of Matchbox Twenty’s “You, yourself, or something like you,” but they got old really quickly. I was in a musical rut for the last couple of months and I was listening to great music. It was so good that it was pretty much on loop. I do not recommend using the loop setting on your iPod. Most people do this with bands like Coldplay and Jimmy and my advice to you is STOP! Take a break from it or you’ll ruin great music! You’ll be like one of those smug music snobs that looks down at people who listen to music that’s not in “the scene.” I have been listening to Paramore, Panic!, The Weepies, Wolf Parade, Page France, Explosions in the Sky, Yael Naim, Patrick Park, and Greg Laswell constantly. I want them to sound good later so i needed to get out of my rut. I needed a change…but change is hard. So i saved up some cash for an itunes splurge. It was rough, but now I’m out of my rut. Here’s what’s on my recently added playlist 
She & Him is beautiful to my ears, even though there’s mucho twang. They have officially brought back “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”. Cold War Kids are fantastic and the video for “Hang me out to dry” is every bit as good as it claims to be. Death Cab’s new Album brings joy to my life. They always have sorta ‘possessed my heart’, I guess you could say. I’ve decided to post some artist pages on my blog so all can enjoy. so listen & enjoy.
