The Sound of Music (on repeat)

You will probably never meet two people as disinterested in music as Ben and me. I'm totally content to listen to the same music over and over again.

Several weeks ago, Ben got into the car and realized I've been listening to the same two CDs for the past four months. Never mind the fact that the CD player in the car can hold 6 CDs. Never mind the fact that I actually do own more than 2 CDs. I simply can't help myself. Ingrid Michaelson, how I love you. I just keep listening to those same 12 songs over and over again. And, our wedding music CD. Over and over and over and over again.

"You may need new music." Ben said. I guess listening to two CDs for four months is excessive. But I really can't help myself. If I'm in a happy mood, the wedding music CD takes me right back to that blissful December day. If I'm in a despairing mood, all of Ingrid Michaelson's music is so dark....it makes me happy (morbid, I know).

All that to say, I'm on the search for new music. For Ben's sake, of course. I sincerely don't want him to go crazy as I jam out to Ingrid for another four months. So, I'm thinking of Katie Herzig, Rosie Thomas, and Lady Antebellum, just to name a few. For variety, for a change. I think it is needed.

  1. i just read that on April 14th that you tried passion tea lemonade for the first time and that blows my mind. (in my head that was all one word, i only added spaces for your convenience ;) )

    in other words: if i had known there was still someone in the world i hadn't told to try it, i would've died. i'm glad you had it. i love it. i LOOOVE it, actually. :)

  3. try some Julia Marcell! If you like Ingrid you'll love her! :) She's a bit happier and still amazingly talented! Her song "Night of the Living Dead" is really fun(as morbid as it sounds) and I got hooked after hearing it!She has quite a few great songs! :)
