11:33 AM >> For the Ears

My god do I love music. To this day I average buying a CD almost every week. (If you like indie rock or underground hip-hop, you gotta check out eMusic.com. Best website ever. Even if you don't care, do whatever you can to get your hands on the song "Dead Dogs Two" by cLOUDDEAD.)

Driving home tonight, M asked if she could play her iPod. I agreed even thought this usually forces me to endure the most miserable driving experience ever. First she played a few random tracks from different artists that she liked, but then she seemed to settle on an album. After two point five songs, I decided I really liked this album that I had never heard before.

"What album is this?"
"The new one."
"Um, by who?" [or whom, whatever]
"Tori Amos."

I used to like Tori Amos a lot back at the end of high school and the beginning of college. Or at least I thought I did, but looking back it may have been a lie so that I'd have something to talk to girls about. I went to her concert in 1994, and I fell asleep halfway through, but I attribute that more to our pre-concert activities plus the fact that we couldn't buy beer once we went in. If you know what I mean. But I did get the coolest t-shirt I've ever owned from that concert. It said BITCHIN on the front.
