musing on music

i never understand how people can work in silence.

that's just not for me. it's too weird. it's too quiet. which might be ironic as most people think of me that way - quiet

the best way to work, perhaps the only way i can work, is to
pop a cd in and play something good. it's almost an instinctive move, whenever i start up the mac at work or the pc at home, to run IE and then itunes or musicmatch jukebox.

sometimes i will sit at the pc just to listen to something.

i guess music is just a nice form of escape, the same as movies and books.

on that note, i watched a movie preview on tuesday, for a Disney family-friendly flick Freaky Friday.

hmm...was trying to put up my little review but this stupid mac doesn't have Word on it...pathetic.

and blogger isn't too mac friendly either. all the 'instant' html codes like bold, italic and hyperlink, all gone...i've gotta put them in meself.

perhaps my job does have some use!

just adding onto my note here about music. it's interesting how the albums i covet tend to be by bands that are made up of guys or by guys. why don't i listen to music by women? isn't that like the lilith fair thing?

well i used to. i did like sarah mc i have to confess. but that was before she exploded onto the airwaves and bored me to brain-death. i did or well i still do own several of her albums, mostly purchased via those 10 CDs for 1cent music membership things. wish we still had that...

i also own a beth orton, fiona apple, tori amos, dixie chicks, the corrs (well they sorta count, don't they? i mean who cares about the brother?), jewel (and this was way before she got played to death on radio ok!) diana krall (well didn't exactly purchase this, Joan gave me her extra copy) hmmm...that's all i can think of for now.

on the guys side: juanes, alejandro sanz, green day, soundgarden, lifehouse, lotsa pearl jam's, u2....
