Who Knew..!!?

I no longer have to sound like some bozo who is a pushover for the music industry that will eat up anything put in front of them.

The story goes…

Because my Padre loves me oh so much, when I asked him, if I could join the 21st century, be a spoilt (spoiled?) child for a change and have him buy me an iPod, he obligingly agreed. (It took me half the day to realize he wasn’t even joking! And at this point I really had to stop asking if he was serious as he was likely to change his mind.)

Playing with my new toy, I upload part of our extensive library of songs. The range of songs is nigh on embarrassing…

The Angels, Akon, Arctic Monkeys, Babybird, Billy Joel, Bond, Camille Cat Empire… Coldplay, JT, Timbaland, Brand New Heavies, Maroon 5, Mars Volta… Savage Garden, Sting, U2, 4 Non Blondes…

As you can see, it’s a rather eclectic combination. I’ve always had music taste like that.

The thing that struck me as strange though, is the list of artists I play on rotation at work.

1 - Kate Nash
2 - The Matches
3 - The Wombats
4 - Stellar Kart
5 - Jason Mraz
6 - Paolo Nutini
7 - The Kooks

In almost that order too, now obviously I mix other albums in there, the other day it was Savage Garden, Everything but the Girl, Coldplay.

It is COMPLETE news to me that I like brit/pop/rock, I know some of the list doesn’t fit in that category but 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 are… if you do the math... that’s more than HALF!! *shock*

Every time someone has asked me, “So what kind of music are you into?” My answer has always been “Oh, pretty much anything that’s on commercial radio”. *douchebag-alert* I’ve always hated saying it, (even though it’s 90% true) and NOW I don’t have to.

I feel like this is an important milestone in my life. I have finally gotten to know the inner me.

And she’s a BRIT!!!

P.S. Does anyone else find Paolo Nutini hot in the strangest, geekiest kind of way? Or is it just me?

P.P.S. I did have a mosaic of a whole bunch of album covers of Brit Pop Rock artists but I hit the "back" button instead of the "edit" button. No pictures today. =(
