rambles: music.

it used to really surprise me when i met people who didn't have an affinity for music. it's still weird to hear, but i get it more now. it's kind of like people and sports. i don't care for it but ppl can be so diehard about it. i guess i just grew up w/ people who really like music. not that that's super hard to come by.

i don't know how to not have music in my life. it makes me so happy--no that's not even the right word. it just touches a (good) nerve in my soul. WOW i sound like a Train song right now. hahah

i guess what's making me feel like talking about music is that i've recently just realized how much music is part of my life and that perhaps a career in music (not necessarily playing it, b/c i definitely can't play it.) is exactly what will make me happy. maybe it goes with my love of gift-giving, but i love when i get it right when i recommend a band to a friend. it's not a 'yes, i'm awesome b/c i can take credit for telling you about this band' it's more like a i'm glad i can share someone else's awesome music w/ someone else who will really appreciate the music. i dont know, it's hard to explain.

also, (this will be the third post that mentions mumford & sons) but MUMFORD & SONS! i. just. AHHH. how can touch my soul so well!?!? well me and a bajillion other people. their new-ish single sounds almost like a few of their older songs, but then there's a different melody and it just hits me so hard. i. just. a;soidfn;awisnf.

in other news, Egg Records in Newtown is pretty awesome. it's smallish but i just really like the vibe and I got Bachelorette there! i've been interested in getting her music for two years now, since i saw her open for Peter, Bjorn, & John. after the week, i'm going 'sploring for the other music shops. can't wait.

end ramble.
