I love music. I have ever since I can remember. My dad was really into music and I remember him putting on his records when we were little and we would dance around the living room to the Oak Ridge Boys, Neil Diamond or Kate Bush. When I would ride with him in the car, he would always have the radio on the 60s station. He ususally knew every song and would sing along. In 4th or 5th grade I remember starting to listen to the radio and pick songs that I liked. One of my first cassette tapes I had was Whitney Houston. I remember getting Kenny Loggins a little later. I got a walkman for Christmas and always had those two tapes in them. Then in junior high, I would always hang out at this family's house down the street, the Jensens. They had a lot of kids in the family and a boy my age and three older ones. Anyway, they were all really into music and liked Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Erasure. I started listening to that music too. In high school I kept listening to the alternative music. I lived in San Antonio, TX, and there was no cool radio stations that played the music I liked, lots of top 40, easy listening, and Tejano (spanish music with lots of horns). I could faintly pick up a radio station on my boombox in my room from Austin, it might have even been from the Univ of Texas campus, that played good music. So, in high school I got some more tapes, Sting, U2, Tears for Fears, I had a George Michael tape, too. In college I discovered Sarah McLachlin, who I still adore, I also listened to Dave Matthews Band, and Tori Amos. I met Mike and he had a great CD collection and he introduced me to some other cool artists, Mazzy Star, Bjork, Cowboy Junkies. Luckily, Mike and I have close to the same taste in music. We like a lot of the same stuff, and some different.
Now I love all kinds of music from country to pop, but my favorites that I come across are almost always alternative. I love technology and that you can hear a song in the car, come home, get on the computer and download it within seconds. I love my ipod too!
Some recent downloads that I can't get enough of right now are:
Believe The Bravery
