Discovering New Music

So, at work we recently got XM radio and they have this station that plays what I think is Top 40 radio.   (By the way, I work at a cupcake shop so this should of been expected by me.  Also, don't give me shit for working in a cupcake shop, it's a whole lot more interesting than working in a clothing shop.)  Anyway, the songs that play are by no means anything near what I normally listen to but I've found myself not hating all of it.  Actually, I've realized that some of it I actually enjoy.  (I realize of course that I will inevitably bore of them because they are played on a Top 40 radio station and are by definition Pop music, which leads to it being, almost by definition, something catchy enough to become popular, mainstream, and widely accepted and enjoyed, which then leads to it being, almost by definition, so catchy that it will be overplayed and become annoying, which only makes it worse because its catchiness causes it to become overly annoying without any extra help.)  But anyway, before I digress again, I found this song that I really like.  The thing is, it's definitely not something that someone who even looks remotely like me or behaves remotely like me would stereotypically enjoy.  But hey, I like it and that's all that matters, and anyway, who am I to judge, I work in a cupcake shop.  

But anyway, the song is "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry.  For some reason, the song just sounds so good, it's got the right combination of attitude, witty lyrics, and catchiness for me to listen to it.

While I was at it though I also found some other music.  While playing HypeMachine I found some songs by Tegan and Sara, who I've heard of and listened to but never really bothered to acquire.  I've actually really started liking their music too, and along the way, realized that they are really attractive.  One song that really rings is "Back in Your Head".

Also, I've started listening to alot more Sigur Ros, strangely because of this.  While I was looking around I stumbled upon some of their music and it sort of reignited the fire and intrigue of their music for me.  This is the song that I ran into that night: "Gobbledigook".

So that's it for now; work is boring and tiring, summer is lonely, I wish a lot of things.
