The Older I get....

The other day I was talking to Ben about how, as I'm getting older, the music I like has changed. I've noticed I can't take it when a song takes more than 15 seconds to get going. I've noticed I'm listening to a lot faster music. More often than not, I'm listening to indie, punk, or pop-punk music. I do on occasion feel like listening to slower music, but it's usually not in my regular rotation.

Here is a list of music I'm listening to now.

1.) Smoking Popes (I have to force myself not to listen to them)
2.) Morrissey (usually thought of as slow, but can get pretty rockin')
3.) Hippos (kids love them)
4.) Cinerama (love bittersweet pop)
5.) They Might Be Giants (kids love them)
6.) Too Much Joy (old favorite)
7.) Smashing Pumpkins (older faster stuff)
8.) Arcade Fire (not sure how to catergorize them)
9.) Quasi (one of Ben's suggestions that I like)
10.) Lots of miscellaneous other stuff

I always thought as I got older my music taste would mellow out. Strange. I used to be a big fan of The Cure, but now I seldom listen to them. Not that I don't like them, I'm just never in the mood to listen to them. Maybe I'll end up being a grandma with a pink mohawk. I have had pink hair before.

Yeah, I like it too - Music
