Shake it up

Hit shuffle on your ipod. What does it bring up?

Is it something popular, like Rihanna?

Is it something classic, like Sinatra?

Or is it someting unique, like Man Man?

The point being that music can have a say in who you are, how you see yourself, how you feel in that exact second.

Today I've been listening to Alkaline Trio. They make me think of Chicago, make me feel like I should be out causing trouble and smoking ciggarettes.

I've also been listening to Bob Dylan. He makes me think of tattoos and Johnny Cash and skipping school.

I love my ipod. I may be getting a little tired of the same few artists but there are those that will never get old.

For my entire life I have had kind of a thing for music that's of the strange variety. Stuff that's off the charts and under the radar that takes a few listens to like.

The bands that wear mismatched suits and write about things like cats in cars and the moon being made from cheese.

Yep, that's my jam.
