In Honor of Irishness…

I’m not going to say “St. Patrick’s Day” because, depending on who you ask, Patrick was either a Saint or a murderer

Nevertheless, this is a day for all of us with some Irish in us (I’m at least 1/16th, hell yeah!) to drink until we vomit on each other, which is the best way to commemorate one’s Irish heritage…

Some thoughts on music…

Reading over c’s comments got me thinking about my musical tastes in general.

I’m finding that the older I get, the more diverse my taste in music becomes, which I’ve heard/read is something that usually goes the other way. Ten years ago I listened to almost nothing but punk…right now, as I type this, I’m wearing a Coldplay shirt that I got at show of their’s two years ago…if the teenaged me saw the me of today he’d definitely shake his head in disgust…

Maybe I’m less judgmental now. I’ve never been overly snobbish when it came to other entertainment. My taste in movies, for instance, isn’t really a taste at all since there is not any type of movie I don’t like. That’s not to say that some genre’s don’t produce an inordinate amount of crap. But even, say the romantic comedy, has its own examples of a well made film.

Historically, I’ve just been really picky when it comes to music. Maybe I still am, and I’ve just experienced a lot more of it now, so I realize that, yes there are gypsy bands that I enjoy. Well, with that in mind, here’s a smattering of random music in no particular order…
