So I am a huge music fan and my moods are generally reflected by what I am listening to...Nirvna and Three Doors Down for instance is this weeks fixation cause I am a Loser and relate to a lot of Corbain's angst...EVERYDAY, I have some form of T lust and loving music on..be it Dido or Sarah McLauglin or jeeze sooo many...When, the music stops <-- (lol so Eminem) I have had that happen once..it is a very bad sign for me....that time I could NOT STAND music..so NOT me,,,, and I ended up signing myself into a psychward overnight..I was so tense and nervous not harmful..I did NOT see that as a warning now I know better.....anyhow...do you find you NEED music and " lose yourself" <-- Eminem again lol....when you do not HAVE music or when it bugs you?

AND BTW...I hate my husand
LOSER BY THREE DOORS DOWN
LYRICS —(lyrics by arnold)
(music by roberts, arnold & harrell)Breathe in right away, nothing seems
To fill this place
I need this every time, take your
Lies get off my case
Some day I will find, a love that flows
Through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away
You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding the fall
Cause I’m a loser, I’m a loser, yeah
This is getting old, I can’t break these
Chains that I hold
My body’s growing cold, there’s nothing
Left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of
This poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away
You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding
The rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser
You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding
The rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser

Nirvana has gotten me through some baddddd times....."Jesus don't want me for a Sunbeam" is one of my favourites.......I'll never forget where I was when I heard about Kurt Cobain's death. I have to have music. If I'm not listening to it, then something is really, really wrong with me. And I like everything. But I have definite needs at different times.

That makes two of us..its odd in a way. I wonder if many people have that link between no music and in deep trouble. I was stunned on Kurt Cobain died and last night on some show they had a huge deal on those two guys that wrote the 1st book say he didnt pass on that way...and they think his wife was behind it...Did you see that? I have his book the diary one..man some of it is hard to read...he was so cool and way deep....kind of a Jim Morrison in a way...why is genius so fleeting.....I wonder if we need music to get it out? like tap into our unexpressed feelings or indentify with? Humm heavy thoughts...And I love downer music..when I am down...odd but true

I didn't see the special but did know of the theory and I've wondered if she did have anything to do with it~~~she seems so very bizarre and self-serving. (judging!!!) I have a Bob Dylan song that so completely describes how I felt the day I decided to leave my husband that I know he was in my head when he wrote it. And it is a downer if there ever was one. It is on the "Time Out of Mind" CD. Kurt Cobain was so very special. I sat in the dark and played the unplugged VH1 CD the night that he died and cried for hours. What feeling in his voice! Then I got to see the VH1 taping and it blew me away. If you knew my age, you would be blown away yourself. I'm old enough to almost be his grandmother..........My daughter walked in one day and I was playing "Have a Cigar" by Primus and she just lost it! Both girls marvel at my taste and ability to find new stuff.......I just could not live without my animals first and then my music. I have four cats and two dogs. I have found another dog that I want...the people may give her to me. They neglect her something awful and I want to bring her here. She's a little terrier mix.....scruffy....feisty...anyway.......we're birds of a feather!!

Good bands...love Nirvana, Soundgarden...also love Tool, Deftones (great dark music to go down and down too..especially at maximum levels.) Also like Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails...the new Sara Mclachlan disk is excellent..and Coldplay is sweet. I also like Ministry (hardcore industrial), Sepultura (South American Death Metal), Slipknot (really f*cked up sh*t!..more 'happy' music..:-)
It's nice that at 34, I listen to music 100 times heavier and louder than people half my age. I just grew up with very hard rock, from Black Sabbath to Zepplin to Rush. Knowing how to play is theraputic for me too..as I first learn't drums, then bass. I love to pound the sh*t outta my instruments...good therapy. :-) I'd suggest anyone take up an instrument..it brings confidence (learning how to play *good*) and creativity.

just to be different, i am going to give a few anecdotes about bands / albums / songs and what they mean to me:
* alice in chains - dirt. when my mother found this album she asked me if i was suicidal and threatened to take me to a shrink. i wasn't suicidal at the time. ironically enough, some years later when i was suicidal, i put that album on.
* tragically hip - fully completely. i heard this album in 1993. we used to play it at pool parties with my school friends. it was always the summer time rock out chill out party music, and it is still my very favourite album to this day.
* the cure - oh the cure. my first serious boyfriend was a goth (or a wannabe) and he introduced me to the cure. and how i love the cure. there was charlotte sometimes "sometimes i dream/while the other people dance" and from the edge to the deep green sea and so many others ... when i broke up with my first serious boyfriend i believe i spent that summer getting high, listening to the cure, playing computer games, and crying. robert smith knew my pain. he understood. he still does understand. i don't know if i can listen to pictures of you or prayers for rain without crying.
* depeche mode - policy of truth. "you had something to hide/should have hidden it shouldn't you/and now you're not satisfied/with what you're being put through". i listened to this song over and over when my dear old friend called me, desperate for advice, because he had cheated on his girlfriend. i encouraged him to not tell her or to lie. he didn't listen. then i had to listen to the nuclear fallout. and i cursed him for not taking my advice while listening to policy of truth.
and there are so many more little stories ...
i ascribe songs to people or to periods of my life. and when i listen to those songs, i can close my eyes and picture how i felt and throw myself back in time. sometimes i find new songs and make new meanings (for example, the cure's doing the unstuck is so very liberating and i have been doing the unstuck for a while now i think)
but i can't listen to music at work, because i get too absorbed in the tunes. (if i do listen to music at work, it is jazz (of the mingus/mobley/coltrane variety) or trance (goa trance (for example, infected mushroom) is my favourite of that kind of variety)
the funny thing is that i have been spending my time and money buying jazz and world music cd's over the last two years. i am totally out of touch with popular music and i am totally ok with that.

Hearing Willie Nelson sing "Blue eyes Crying in the Rain" takes me back to my FIRST divorce"...my stomach actually reacts to that melody.....that album was the rage then.......James Taylor singing " Mexico" also.....Leon Russell "Lady Blue".......causes me to "see" the little apartment that I moved to...so scared and lonely...family disowned me...thought it was better to live with an alcoholic than without~~~~Ryan Adams~~"Touch, Feel & Lose" sick with Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever....72 hr headaches, chills..on isolated ranch with my daughter..wolves howling at night...isn't it something how a melody or a fragrance can instantly transport us to another place, time, person, etc.? The entire 13 years that I was married to my first husband I was not "encouraged" to listen to any music other than country....so at the age of 31, I "discovered" Joe Cocker, Leon, J.J. Cale, Elton John, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and others....(Can you imagine my feelings when I went to my first Dylan concert...the kohl, the electric guitar, the joy!!)I was FREE to listen to whatever I wanted. Music played a huge part of my meeting second husband and marrying him....interesting side note...Willie didn't like first one but approved of second one....that was one of the reasons that I went to work for him. He rocked!!!! (I'm not with second now....he didn't rock...we just thought that he did)

oh, it's music to my ears.
the cure, octo. you're bringing up old memories, best left unmentioned. did you see they recently released a b-side compilation? awwwww.... i used to listen to a letter to elise on repeat over and over again. and boys don't cry. plastic passion. f-i-r-e i-n c-a-i-r-o.
alice in chains, i prefer grind more though. what's that say about me, i wonder? i'll think about that for a while.
i've been listening to ryan adams alot (nice touch fayeroe [did i spell it right?]) i think gold's my favorite, but i have yet to get his first album. my sister (my soul mate) found his album laying out one day and shrieked "oh my god! you listen to brian adams?" i tried to explain they are different people, but she didn't understand. finally, i led her to believe they are one in the same. perhaps i should pick up a brian adam's album? maybe it's a sign? maybe not.
i've also been listening to jack johnson again. something about brushfire fairytales is getting to me lately. and i've been picking up dave matthews again for some reason. i get into these moods, where i'll neglect an artist, then for some reason pick them up again. dave's been one of those recently.
tori and bjork: they're always worth listening to. tori sings only to me, i swear. she told me so herself.
jj cale: that's right folks. "coincidence or not, the phrase 'laid back' crept into common use right around the time of jj cale's first album." hmmm. [and it makes me mad that eric clapton rips off his songs and no one notices. hmph.]
widespread panic, phish, micheal jackson, g love, and ween: always good to listen to. (and of course primus)
about ween: how could you not love ween? honestly, i absolutely love chocolate and cheese. nothing's better than music that just makes you think about well, nothing. and sometimes something as well. ween's great.

oh girl~~~~~j.j. cale runs in my bloodstream......i photographed him for ten years running. he's very, very shy and really laid back. a friend took someone to see him and the "someone" asked my friend why j.j. cale was doing eric clapton songs????? if i could play guitar, it would be like him! fayeroe was spelled correctly.....fayeroe is my half airedale and half boxer girl....faye is for the past president of planned parenthood and roe is for roe vs. wade....i be an activist heavy metal style! ryan adams just makes me weep...i love him. i like the cure...some of the others you mentioned, i'm not familiar with. my oldest daughter is a photographer also and specializes in punk bands. she will know all the heavy, punk and alternative that i don't know. i used to go out to the wild life refuge and play j.j. cale and smoke~~~and drink red wine with my girl friend. those were the days....music is what keeps me upright and when i'm down, it is my best friend.

will you marry me? (and you must know that i don't ask often :)
music is wonderful in that it can help put words to your emotions when you can't. or at least bring those feelings out. and let you (and i'm only speaking for myself of course) know that you aren't the only one who feels "this way" or that way.
i think one of the greatest show i went to was a willie nelson show. a lady was a volunteer at the venue and i was in line to buy my ticket and she gave me her extra one. she picked me, out of all of those people. i was touched.
so, you are a photog, eh? i'm a tcom major. hmmm. perhaps we could create some sort of business together someday? you could do the photos for my documentaries? :) of course, i have control issues so i'd have to be the boss.
i really like your name. my doggie is named bodega, after bodega bay in cali. he's a siberian husky, red and white.
nice talking to you, look forward to it in the future..

oh karen_kay
i almost forgot about bjork! (hangs head in shame). how could i forget her? she is on my list of two artists that i would love to go see live (the other is orbital). oh for the love of cheap airfare to europe ... i loved homogenic and post ... followed by debut ...and i loved tori though i don't listen to her so much now ... oh for the love of leather and winter and choirgirl ... i saw her live twice, once i got tickets from some guy who got stood up by his girlfriend for $10, and the other time i paid full price but she played the instrument that's not quite a piano and not quite an organ (harpsichord) ... oh how my mind is like a sieve
that is an unfortunate name coincidence about that ryan adams fellow
and i did not know about the cure b-sides album but i think i have already cried my river of tears and i need something different to buy ...
(oh and for the 10th anniversary of kurt cobain's death, and for other reasons, my nirvana albums are on heavy rotation)

and you have to be a bukowski fan, right??? i am SOOOO happy right now. after not being able to do much for a while, reading wise, i picked up "tales of ordinary madness" and yahoooooo! i could read again. i'm relieved.
now, octo's a writer, am i correct? hmmm.. press releases perhaps? how's this for networking?
about name-dropping: suits me just fine. i only wish i had names to drop :( what about karen kay??? now, that's quite a name indeed!
i'm impressed fayeroe, keep it coming. also, you never did respond to my proposal. i dislike rejection, you know.

i think homogenic is my favorite bjork album. debut and post are very close seconds though, very close. it's tough, but something about homogenic is a bit more possibly "mature" in her sound? maybe, maybe not. i absolutely love the way bjork dresses. she's so adorable. that's the word. have you seen dancer in the dark? it's wonderful, though sad.
tori: i saw her when someone sent me a free ticket. i didn't have to go with him or anything. it was my sister's exboyfriend and he gave me a ticket. i didn't stay for alanis morriset (i don't even care if i spelled her name right) and it made me sad that tori opened for her when it should have been the other way around.
i've not listened to nirvana in quite a while. don't even have any cd's any longer. like books, i tend to give cd's away. i feel that if i don't listen to them enough, i have to share them. and nirvana was one that i didn't listen to enough. i passed it along. that then puts me in the position to rebuy albums as well as books. it happens rather frequently.
