you gotta keep 'em separated.

he-ey, don't pay no mind, you're under 18 and won't be doing anytiyiyme

he-ey, come on and play!

at what point can you start listening to songs that were played out a week after they were released?

I'm thinking about 7-10 years... because for some reason, and probably because I don't know which stations are which, in and around DC I've been hearing songs that I haven't heard since highschool.

so almost 10 years.

there are songs that will always remain cool, which never got played out but just quitely faded into the background (or oblivion)

but there are songs that were cool for a minutes, then just got camp, and eventually got annoying.

so I'm wondering when those annoying songs will ever be cool... if ever.

of course, this could also be a frame of reference thing.

there were a number of songs that I thought were terribly annoying in the 80's and 90's but if listened to now, they would be pretty cool...

if it weren't for the fact that embarssament accompanies knowing the lyrics (an harmonies) of a previously thought-of-as-annoying song...

(re: harold and kumar go to white castle - scene - "Hold On", Wilson Phillips)

you know the words.

but we all have our guilty secrets.

those songs that we sing at the top of our voice in the car when we are all alone, and then quickly turn down or turn off the radio when anyone is looking or listening.

I listen to pretty much all music.

except maybe for hate music or the like...

there is something that everyone can like in all forms of music - because seriously, to diss an entire genre by not giving it a chance is just dumb.

out of all the people that say, "I listen to everything, except country", how many people have actually listened to more than a few seconds of any of it, or maybe more than one song? because once you get past the whiny stuff it's just like any top 40 song...

you know, except for the label.

honestly, if I heard a few seconds of punk, classical, jazz, techno, or even pop and I was told to base my entire opinion of a genre on those few seconds, there is a strong psosibility that there would be no way in hell that I would listen to any music... (ignoring the fact that I was brought up learning and being around music most of my life)

we choose from what we are given, and if it is not given then we automatically dismiss it as a choice, because there are few people in the world (trust me, there are) that will venture outside their comfort zone...

call it fear, lazy, comfort, or whatever.

Even the people who claim to live outside of any comfort zone are really just not comfortable in a comfort zone, which then no comfort zone is really a comfort zone.

get it?

in any case, people like what they know, and they tend to avoid that which they don't know, but do what they have to because they must.

which is why holding hands is important, but must be used with discretion.

people are willing to go out of their zone if they trust the person leading them.

now, if they are lead out and then get beat down, you can bet dollars to donuts that they will use that life experience to never have to do it again...

but whatever.

I have wandered off topic.

again.

so maybe what I thought was annoying back then, really was just cool and I got tired of it, or maybe what I thought was annoying really was, and it will never ever come back.

but songs seem to be getting recycled at a much faster rate than before

in any case...

I'm waiting for someone to remake a classic...

and laugh when they screw it up completely.

until then, screw the radio and MTV can bite me...

I will stick to the 17+ gigs of mp3's (which is constantly growing, but is stored in an offshore, databank due to copyright laws, which I access through dial up AOL on my Mac via a static IP which is routed through 12 cities and two satellites... damn the man! you will never find me) and listen to them on my cd mp3 player in my car and my sony clie...

until something better comes along...

(and it doesn't rhyme with skypod)
