WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Still back in black (on my back)

Posted over 3 years ago
So I'm still basically flat on my keister, thanks to our old friend the herniated disc. And the combination of vicodin and skelaxin (don't ask me -- i don't know what it's supposed to do, either) creates the worst ADD you can imagine. Just keeping my attention focused here long enough to type this is sillier than it should be (I'm otherwise occupied attempting to watch "Cache" by Michael Haneke, which so far seems pretty great, albeit the exact wrong movie for Johnny ADD here, what with its predilection for 4 minute static shots of building facades). But, all of this is lead-up to my actual music topic, which is -- I just got this old computer online again, and started to dig through the My Music folder. I forgot how much stuff is on here that I didn't move to my laptop (which is where the iPod borrows its guts from). So much good stuff:The Hollies greatest hitsThe Posies Frosting on the BeaterCharlie Rich Pictures and PaintingsColin Blunstone Some YearsIggy PopTelevisionmoreIt's funny that we're far enough along now that I'm actually finding old mp3s I forgot I had, like a box of cassettes on a shelf in the garage.Which reminds me, I found a box of old cassettes the other day. Tomorrow I'll go dig em out, but here's a topic to ponder (Hyman, you listening?): dig up your oldest mix tape you can find, one either you made or someone made for you, and post the song list. I'll dig one up tomorrow and post. Okay, back to the couch.

  2. lemontwist says Sorry to hear about the herniated disc. Wow, I've never heard of narcotics and muscle relaxants causing ADD before. :) Oh boy, I used to have mix tapes that I'd make from the radio, but got rid of them a long time ago once I started buying the real CDs. I sort of miss them, it'd be nice to go back and see what I was listening to back when I started to get into music.

  3. princesszyrtec says I just posted last week about mixed tapes. It's called Mixed Bag. Check it out. I have the song list of a mixed tape my boyfriend made for me in 1985.
