2275 songs and counting ...


Louis and I are loading my iPod, again.

Which means I must listen to the THOUSANDS of songs he has loaded onto his iTunes account.

Me, the uneducated, unadventurous nincompoop with pedestrian taste for pop and melody. He prefers moody singer-songwriters and clashy, noisy, non-melodic music. To me it is trash, to him it is art. My one question at the end of this lovely afternoon: just how much Van Morrison is required? :)

Why are we loading my iPod? Because a couple of weeks back there was some chatter about '70s music to be played at the Spring Fling in Texas the first weekend in May. I mentioned that Louis is the king of too much music and we have loads of stuff from the '70s. Now, I thought all this stuff was already loaded onto my iPod. Wrong. So, I started my day, happy to listen to my Imogen Heap, Natasha Beddingfield and Feist. Singer songwriters who can write music, lyrics AND sing!

I'm ending my day with a more rounded appreciation for the fact my husband can play a mean air guitar (air drums and air piano, too) and we've loaded plenty of music I "must have" to balance my need for pop and fluff!

Oh, we've just finished 1973. I may not survive to the '80s.
