I have started making an actual effort to listen to music recently rather than just listening to whatever cds are in my van, that the kids will put up with, and sometimes hooking last fm up to the speakers and hoping for the best, and like all I had listened to for a whiiiiile there was amanda fucking palmer, because holy shit, and that got me wanting to spend more time enjoying some damn music, because it has generally been up there, maybe even in the lead, with reading, for how I manage my mind.


anyhow, so I started dl ing some more actual sngs, ALL PERFECTLY LEGIT AND ALL, OF COURSE, and bought myself a pair of actual koss headphones instead of earbuds, and was just doing the, hey, what do I like, anyway thing, and checked out more of Paolo Nutinis stuff in particular, and then busted out my damien rice collection, and just set myself up a proper playlist again, and argh, what is wrong with me that I let myself stop listening to music in any serious way for this fucking long, omg
