I’m really weird about music. I love it. But I go through spurts where I don’t listen at all, and other spurts where its the only thing that keeps me going. I also go through cycles of living. I own somewhere around 150 or so cds (I used to have them catalogued extensively, but I lost track somewhere). I tend to fixate on groups of music for awhile. For instance, I’ll decide that I absolutely have to own every studio release by Our Lady Peace (there are five and I do, indeed, have them all). I’ll also get on a single cd kick where I will listen to the same cd on repeat for weeks on end. Recently its been Brooks West, Elephant by The White Stripes and as of yesterday The Dresden Dolls self-title album. I have been coveting this cd for quite awhile now and was on the verge of buying it when the fantastic and fabulous Kristi purchased it for me as a random gift. I had heard some of their music before, quite awhile ago and I’m kicking myself for having waited this long to actually own the cd. Where else will you hear songs about the anger of a hermaphrodite?
