the ramblings of a former music nerd.
Posted by shan | Filed under music
all throughout my life, music has been my one true love. my one fallback, when nothing else could make me smile, or cry, or make me feel alive. music was it for me, my favourite drug.
and now that i actually am madly in love (with a real live human!), my love for music has fallen by the wayside. i think this year i’ve been to only seven gigs. six of those were in january, and two of them were repeat viewings. i bought tickets to two more, but didn’t attend cause work was killing me. that’s woeful, in comparison to my gig history. my personal best effort was seven gigs in 12 days, but that was back when i was young and full of energy.
thanks to this handy little last.fm tool i’ve created a word map of my top artists.
so, in summary: got any recommendations for me?
in case you’re curious:

advance warning: i don’t like capitals, but i do love spelling. i don’t like getting up early, or getting up at all, but i love staying up late for no reason. i love trashy television (hello, gossip girl), but i don’t like most things sci-fi, unless joss whedon was involved. i’ve seen justin timberlake in concert (twice) but i’d rather see one of those obscure bands you’ve never heard of playing to a room of 20 people. this makes me sound a lot more pretentious (and interesting) than i really am. i love sunsets and sunrises, and staring at people in the dentist’s chair that is visible from my office window. i hate rain, i hate winter, i hate clouds, i hate grey skies, but i love the smell of a fireplace. i could beat you at an anagram game, connect four, snap, and scrabble if my tiles are workin’ for me. you’d probably beat me at monopoly, though.
