Updating the Playlist

Today, in spite of doing anything remotely work-related, I updated my dusty playlist. JD always has something related to music in her posts. This tells me that she's very serious about her music. At a glance, I see that my mp3 folder is now responsible for 50% of my total used space on my hard drive. I am also very music oriented since I can't seem to work without something going in the background.

Here's a sample of what's in my existing playlist (listed in no particular order of preference):

Weezer - Surf Wax America
The Clash - Clampdown
George Thoroughgood - One Burbon, one Scotch, one Beer
REM - Pop Song 89
Stevie Wonder - Superstition
Ben Harper - Faded
Johann Strauss II - The Blue Danube
Fishbone - Party at Ground Zero
Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch
Gustav Holst - The Planets (Jupiter is my fave!)
L7 - Pretend we're dead
Edvard Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King
The Vandals - Oi to the World
The Smiths - Unloveable
Nirvana - Kiss Molly's Lips
Daft Punk - Around the World
The Ziggens - I took my Mom to the Prom
The Eagles - Take it easy
Paul Van Dyke - Castles in the Sky
Orbital - Halcyon and on
Fatboy Slim - Funk Soul Brother
Grandaddy - AM180
Dead Kennedys - Jesus was a terrorist

I suppose the only genre I haven't included is something from the Rap Genre and maybe Country. Hm...at a second glance, it appears that I have:

Beastie Boys - No Sleep till Brooklyn
Run DMC - You be illin
Garth Brooks - Friends in low places

There! Those two genres are now covered.

Why is music so important to me? I wish I knew...I just love how it makes my brain do somersalts when the beat is right. A friend of mine asked me why I don't dance when I go with them to the Country Western Bar (aka the 'Saddlerack'). I suppose it's because I can't really relate to the music.

"Give me something I can dance to" I slur in response to her. She tells me that I would get laid if I asked more women to dance with me. Considering I don't get laid as it is, I suppose there's nothing to lose, but it sure does help when I enjoy the music. In a few weeks, I'll be going to the City (San Francisco) with friends to see a DJ friend play some music. There will be much indulgence that evening. I'm sure they will play music I can dance to and dance is what I'll do. If anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to share it with y'all.

The Present Weekend

This weekend, I plan on copious amounts of cuddling with the little girl while her brother wastes his youth on video games. I haven't seen them in a few weeks, and I'm starting to feel the effects of it (in the form of thinking about them more than I think about sex). Hard to believe that an extra week away from them would make me miss them so much.

Anyway, hope you all have a pleasant friday/saturday/weekend.
