Numero Dos
As I was sitting here at my desk waiting for the day to end so I can go home and pamper my poor feet, I realized that I haven't mentioned that about two weeks ago I received not one, but two CDs as part of the Great Musical Revolution.
Yes, folks, I've been getting a double dose of fan-fucking-tastic music.
Jealous?
I have two rules when I get new music, whether it's from other people or music that I buy: number one, I must listen to it in the car. Number two, the volume must be turned up LOUD. I like it that way.
The first CD I got was from Brian, who not only neatly and sweetly typed up a letter to me, but also drew a picture directly on his CD. Art to go with art. It's a fabulous collection of artists who are all from Texas. Genius. For some reason it's really nice to drive to also. I love it and as soon as I listened to it all the way through, I made the decision right on the spot to make a copy and send to Lauren, since her boyfriend is from Texas and I know that he would really like it. Fabulous, Brian. Thank you, sir.
The second CD I received was from Melissa. She sent me a compilation of her favorite dance songs in the most creative packaging I've ever seen. It was great. I love all of the songs she put on the playlist (yes, every single one) but the one that caught my ears is Senegal fast food. Ever heard of it? For some reason it was exactly what I needed. A song that I didn't understand but sounded great and I could dance to.
Needless to say I've been abusing both CDs like unwanted step children. I must announce also that Melissa is thinking of having a Round 3 pretty soon. If you haven't already joined up you really should. It's good, wholesome fun (for the most part). The rules aren't that difficult and you get to experience some new tunes that you might not have thought about listening to at first. Go on. Do it. You know you want to.
