Ok now for a real one...

I really love music. I have a 16 gig iPod touch and I could fill it in less then ten minutes if iTunes and my computer worked fast enough. The only problem I have with it is that there is not enough space to put everything I like on it. I guess that's partly my problem because I never stop looking for new music and I never stop liking all the stuff I used to listen too.
When I was really young, my parents have told me that I loved classical music- especially Bach and Bizet. For a little while I had stopped listening to that type of music but when I got a Zune for christmas one year I remembered how amazing classical music really is. However, the reason I stopped listening to classical was because my parents always had the oldies channel on. "California Dreamin'" quickly became one of my favorite songs. After some time, I noticed that a lot of the songs I liked on that channel were by Elvis Presley or the Beach Boys (I also loved all of the Rolling Stones but I didn't know that "Start Me Up," "Ruby Tuesday," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" were all by them). Elvis Presley was my first crush and a CD of his 10 greatest hits was the first CD I ever received. That makes me sound old doesn't it... Well, old music is good music. By the time I had heard my first Elvis song he had been dead for years. It lessened the chances of a relationship by a lot because of this. Actually, that's the reason I became frustrated with Oldies. Everyone was either dead or they were too old to perform for the most part. Realizing that I could never see any of my favorite artist in concert made me kind of sad. Sometimes I wonder if I was born in the right decade... My mother had heard some Brooks & Dunn songs, and had seen Garth Brooks perform "Shameless" on TV and she was hooked to modern country. For my Dad, it was Shania Twain. My sister and I liked her song "That Don't Impress Me Much" because we thought it was funny and it mentioned Elvis. For a LONG time all I listened to was country. I used to know every song in the top 30. I don't listen to the radio that much anymore so I couldn't do that today but I still listen to my favorite country artists and look up the Billboard top country songs from time to time so I don't fall too far behind. In other words, I still really like country music. County music's domination came to an end with the greatest show on earth- Supernatural. I'll have to tell you why another time but that show played almost nothing but classic rock. There were three songs in particular that got me hooked, "Fight the Good Fight" by Triumph, "Carry on My Wayward Son" by Kansas, and "Renegade" by Styx. The more I listened to classic rock the more I liked it. Another things I found out was that my knowledge of Tom Petty and Blue Oyster Cult amused adults it only encouraged me to get more into it. I'm not entirely sure how I became obsessed with Alternative, AltRock, and Indie started but it did. I know Muse and the All-American Rejects were some of the first rock bands I listened to where the members weren't over 50. It sort of spread from there. One girl at my school had excellent taste in music and turned me on to Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes. I guess it was over time. I'd say that sort of stuff now dominates what I listen to the most...
Whenever anyone asks me what music I listen too I have to list genres because if I listed bands I would be talking for way too long. I don't know if I've ever had a favorite band but if I had to say somebody it would be McFly. At other times in my life the answer would have been Bach, Elvis Presley, Dierks Bentley, All-American Rejects, and the Fleet Foxes.
My facebook is covered with things about music so I'll probably talk about it a lot...

Premiere

It's 11:45 pm and I am by no means an excellent speller and despite the fact there is a spell check on here I still can't guarantee that everything will be spelled right.
I wanted to watch Napoleon Dynamite tonight but my Dad hates that movie so much that he was willing to watch Julie and Julia to avoid the other movie. No one in my family had seen it before so I guess I can save Napoleon Dynamite for another day... Anyways, I realized that I had something in common with both Julie and Julia, I really want to write for a living. I had always flirted with the idea of writing a blog but never got around it till the scene with the phone messages. I guess I have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing this. I'm not really expecting Little Brown or anything to be calling me in a few weeks but why not. If it happened to her it could happen to anybody. Besides, I love writing and I always want to explain why I like this or that and why I don't like this or that so I guess this is a way I can review, rant, and share meaningless facts like how Jeff Gordon would have 6 championships if NASCAR hadn't made their own version of the playoffs or that Slumdog Millionaire won 8 out of 10 of the academy awards it was nominated for because it had two songs nominated for song of the year both are excellent.
I'm kind of excited about this.
