Music
Yesterday and today I’ve done almost nothing but sit and vegetate to music. When I was a teenager, I used to do this a lot. Sometimes I think the sole secular driving force behind my survival of adolescence was my cd collection. Since I’ve been older, and happier, I’ve spent a lot less time listening to music.
I drive a lot, so that means that I’m still probably hearing more music than most people do. But sometimes I even get tired of listening to music in the car now. The older I get, the more comfortable I am driving around with nothing playing but the thoughts in my head.
These past two days though have been nothing but music. Actually, I spent Thursday at Jasmin’s (read: hiding from the world since everyone who lives there was at work/school, and therefore I didn't have to talk to anyone) downloading music too. I’ve found some good new stuff, and I’ve revisited a lot of really great old stuff that never became part of my classics file just because I wasn’t as into music when I first heard it.
So, anyway, if anyone’s been hurting for quality music to listen to lately, here are twenty songs (in no discernable order) that I wish all my friends loved too:

Rock of Ages – Gillian Welch
