Bookshelves and record stores
Spent the day trying to decide what new book or album to buy.
Looking back, just to think of it of the past five albums I bought only one was recorded in the last five years.
Ok, maybe I've listened to Scissor Sisters and a bit of Franz Ferdidnand and the Libertines, but that its. A passing interest. Never bought the albums. Heck, I was even happier to grab Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds" and Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" when they went on the cheap than grab even the new U2 Album. (Listening to Good Vibrations, Beach boys on Launchcast)
I suck. I can pretty much name most of the big acts from the 60's to the late 90's, but anything this century? (Country House, Blur)
Ok, maybe Joss Stone and Coldplay, but those are exceptions.
I can't keep track anymore. Maybe It's just easier to listen to stuff your used to.
The same goes for books nowadays.
I've barely read half of the classic books I wanted tro read this year, there are dozens of new ones that I want to read but will, never be able to.
How are you be up to date with the new, when you barely can keep track? (Urgh, Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice. Good grief, didn't I win some dance competition in Primary school with this song?)
Maybe I'll be lucky that way. When my grandchildren loot my attic, they might not get wierded out that much. Come on, I have an old Saturday Night Fever LP to brag about (very good condition).
How many of these Number One's will we remember anyhow?
How many do you remember from the past three years?
How many do you still listen to? (Hey, Into the groove, Madonna. I remember this one!)
I really should try and expand more. There's that new James Patterson book (I think) they say is good. And then there is that KT Tunstall Album they're talking about...
Sigh... it was easier when I went on that classical music run. Ah.. Segovia, Williams, Westenra.
Well, excuse me while I go and slip on my Nirvana album and take another crack at War and Peace. ( Has anyone out there finished it? Can never get past 3/5).
