Everybody has their one vice or hobby in life. Whether it be smoking, sunflower seeds, gardening, hunting...whatever. Mine just happens to be music. I can't play any instrument or know how to read music to save my life, but I can appreciate good music when I hear it. I'm constantly looking for new stuff of any genre regardless of how old it is. Doesn't matter if it's from the 20's or 2000's, if I like it then I'm going to research it and stuff similar to it. The only genre of music I can tolerate in very small doses is today's hip hop and rap. I prefer the old school stuff over the new stuff, it's lost it's fun. It's all about violence, money, how great I am...blah blah blah. Give me the good stuff like Run DMC, Salt -n-Peppa and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I was always more of a rock girl anyways. But as with the rest of it, the new stuff is not so good. 98 Rock isn't what it used to be, it's filled with an annoying morning show and tolerable afternoon DJs. Country is the same way, very "cookie cutter" but there are a few artists that I do really like, for example Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town and Alan Jackson is always a favorite of mine.
So with that note, I'm left to dig. Every Tuesday is new release day for music. So I stalk Dimples website and then iTunes when I get home and pay close attention to the music magazines that I have. I do have a few music blogs that I follow as well. Always on the look out for new bands. In my search I have always been pleasantly surprised at what I have found. I have also cringed and laughed. The ones that I laugh at, I try to share with those who will laugh about it with me. When I get frustrated with the searches, I turn to my records that I have inherited from my dad. They bring back great memories, it's fantastic music and I have record with my Great Uncle Paul in a Barbershop Quartet.
