I’ve been listening to too much Evanescence lately. I don’t know why; I just happen to like that Tori-Amos-meets-Andrew-W.K. sound; take the two extremes of the stuff I listen to (actually, I listen to stranger stuff than that, as anyone who’s seen my iTunes playlist will tell you) and frappé and you get that.
I’ve been fiddling with the Party Shuffle feature of iTunes and now my computer produces better music mixes than the idiots on the local music stations; them and their freakin’ top 15 aren’t cutting it for me anymore. Plus, my computer plays a lot more U2, Sting, Steely Dan, and Phil Keaggy than the radio stations would, and includes the occasional Monty Python song to break up the monotony.
Interesting side effect: I discovered that Jars of Clay sounds exactly like Toad the Wet Sprocket.
