I was looking at Mermen CDs online someplace, and got an auto-generated link that said "people who purchased this CD also purchased music by Frank Sinatra" I'm sure it was true, but what do they have in common?!<BR/><BR/>also, if you love the internet radio, please please go to http://savenetradio.org and call your elected representatives! because it all may go away except for the richest commercial stations, and *soon* if the save net radio legislation fails.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233135823508192911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-79376018067548018112007-07-07T20:44:00.000-07:002007-07-07T20:44:00.000-07:00Satellite radio has enough variety to keep your mi...Satellite radio has enough variety to keep your mind ever expanding.<BR/><BR/>Just change the channels frequently.<BR/><BR/>Some of the things I realized that I loved once I started listening to XM...<BR/><BR/>lounge/space age pop, progressive country, African pop, chill out music, folk music<BR/><BR/>Not all of them may have been necessarily new in the universal sense, but much of it was new to me.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be too hard on yourself for not being able to assimilate pop music from the early 90s onward. I believe that there was a fundamental shift in the way pop music was produced and marketed. <BR/><BR/>I draw the line when Mtv stopped being about music and more about young urban pop culture. Music became less about talent and substance and more about flash and fashion.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>2amsomewhere2amsomewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343733349708172680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-68031768523308309472007-07-07T19:50:00.000-07:002007-07-07T19:50:00.000-07:00the RHCP suck. i've met two of them there here in ...the RHCP suck. i've met two of them there here in LA and have been unimpressed. it's a personal thing.hughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-78858202693691815592007-07-07T18:25:00.000-07:002007-07-07T18:25:00.000-07:00Amy Winehouse is good.

(One of the sisters had a big drug problem). "Last Splash" has truly one of the best bass lines ever. I gotta dig that CD out today. I did like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Joy Division, to be honest, but the current stuff the RHCPs do leaves me cold (like "Dani California." My reaction: Meh. But "Suck My Kiss"? Brilliant). <BR/><BR/>For me it's just fabulous that after all that time of hating 99% of what I heard that was new, I can now enjoy new music.

Well not totally, but I can see why its been said. I've noticed my musical taste changed or maybe it just "firmed up". I still love hearing new music, but I'm just not as open to other genres as I used to be.<BR/><BR/>There is still amazing music coming out all the time. And I for one thank all powerful deities for Pandora.com. I come from a city with a fabulous string of radio stations, totally in sync with what the masses crave in new music (ever in Madison Wisconsin, check out Triple M!) But now that I live in Syracuse NY, a hole, where all good things must be literally dug for, well, lets just say, Pandora is a godsend :) Good radio does not exist in Syracuse NY.<BR/><BR/>Great post DHW :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-30356066677232143662007-07-07T10:20:00.000-07:002007-07-07T10:20:00.000-07:00http://www.youtube.com/v/Z4Ikay3a1Zchttp://www.youtube.com/v/Z4Ikay3a1ZcAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123413735523666081noreply@blogger.com
