I can’t wait to be writing again today. Workers didn’t come yesterday, will come today, but I’ll be closed up in the writing sanctuary so probably won’t be affected much. I have finally, FINALLY, written this tiny bottle of CHANEL N°5 into a scene, which I’ve wanted to do since a writing exercise a million years ago at Saints and Sinners.
While I wrote and planned and thought on Friday, I finished the “C” CDs and began the “D” CDs.
The playlist:
Counting Crows, Recovering the Satellites and August and Everything After; Shannon Curfman, Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions; Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Live at Radio City 2-CD set; Dave Matthews Band, Busted Stuff and Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.
A few more “D” CDs to come. Thank you to every musical artist who is helping me these days.
ETA: Waiting on the workers to get here. Dogs are at Aunt Debby’s. I’ve got the first CD in, and I’m ready to write. =) Hoping for a great day for me and for you, too!
Clearly Counting Crows was not on my radar. I like learning about different music tastes. My some of my faves
A – CC Alcock
B – Big Voodoo Daddy
C – The Communards . Belinda Carlisle
D – The Decemberists
When I was a teen I always wanted to be Belinda or Cyndi Lauper … maybe that’s why I am a writer.
You’ve made me think. Did I ever want to be anyone? I mean, any celebrity in any of the arts. I don’t remember ever wanting that. I probably dreamed of certain lifestyles/careers more than to be certain people, and they definitely involved creativity and relationships with other creative people. I’m strongly drawn to musicians because of my personal history.
Regarding musical tastes: You’re a decade younger than I am. A lot of the Eighties passed me by because I had to rely on the music I already owned (heavily Sixties rock and roll and Seventies California rock), plus I was either impoverished, working multiple jobs at one time, or I really only knew what I saw on MTV (how I knew a lot of metal), VH-1 (how I knew a lot of Americana and softer rock), and CMTV (how I knew some traditional but also a lot of contemporary country). Through the decades, I didn’t care much for disco, though I did enjoy some New Wave. Punk pretty much passed me by, and I barely scratched the surface of grunge in the Nineties.
All that being said, you can’t make many assumptions based on what you see in this CD collection. For example, you’re about to see the mother lode of Dave Matthews Band. All the DMB and Counting Crows, plus a lot of the other stuff, are Tom’s. That doesn’t mean I dislike them. But it doesn’t mean I spent my discretionary income on them, either. And he likes a ton of stuff we don’t even own in this format, because it’s on his devices, just like mine.
