This might sound ridiculous but I enjoyed most of the "Devil's Rejects" soundtrack thoroughly. It was a nice mixture of Buck Owens, Elvin Bishop and pretty much everything else everyone has already heard on the Joe Dirt OST. It's sometimes a bit discomforting but it seems my musical tastes are regressing rapidly. I've recently turned into a huge country music and southern rock fan. I know it's vexing to Eddie Boy that I went from Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Dave Brubeck in 5th grade to Cheap Trick and techno in 13th.
Of course everything previously stated was a serious overstatement but I don't visit blues, jazz and bluegrass as much as I used to/should. It might be my subconscious protecting my ego from getting hurt trying to pick Johnny Smith tunes or it might be that I'm too busy playing everyone's favorite cover song three times a week with the guys.
So this, my first post, will actually not be what I'm listening2 but what I'm going to make myself listen to in weeks to come. WhatIMListening2 changes every month from The Crystal Method to Kanye West to Berlioz to Dwight Yoakam to Death Cab For Cutie. This month will be the first month in my life that I will ever truly DECIDE for myself what I am going to play and listen to: Tony Rice, Dave Brubeck, Johnny Smith, etc.

You are what you listen to.

1. Nothing's vexing to me; anything and everything is fair game. I'm after all, one who fertilized his musical garden with Grand Funk and Foghat, among other offerings that have held up a lot better. Besides, I still like Cheap Trick.
2. Glad you're posting.
Yeah, welcome aboard Will! Glad to see comments by someone other than us old farts. Hear you're quite the player, as you impressed me bandmates Friday night. (You were the hot topic during set-up Saturday night.) Don't be a stranger.
