As another sunday goes the way of mili vanilli, I think about how I spent my time this weekend, and I realized that I actually spent more time deciding what I'm going to listen to than listening to cd's. . .it's pretty sad. I have a High Fidelity-sized music collection, thinking the more I have the more options I'll have so I'll never be without a song for a mood I'm in. . .BUT NOOOOOOOOOO. . .instead I spent almost an hour debating: do I feel like Happy Mondays or Mos Def--Manchester or Brooklyn? Eventually I ended up listening to Generation X. . .but I sat in relative silence for about an hour. How did life get so trite?
When I was homeless (and crashing couch to couch) cd selection was easy--most my music was under lock and key at my (now ex) girlfriend's place so I could only carry a dozen cd's--ryan adams, otis redding, the replacements, coltrane/hartman--the essentials. Now it's just overkill and overload.
Maybe I'll sell some off. . .who the f&#k am I kidding?! I need to by that DJ Shaddow reissue!
today's soundtrack: Generaton X-perfect hits; REM-monster; Public Enemy- he got game; iggy pop-the idiot; wu tang clan-enter the 36 chambers; lcd soundsystem-s/t; roy hargrove- hardgroove; prince-1999; guided by voices-official ironman rally song ep
