" the missing piece "

---

remember that time you had a cd, and it was your favorite cd of the moment; you couldn't go anywhere without having it with you. you listen to every song on it in order, at random, and knew every word by heart after the first few days?

i miss music.

i mean, i miss having access to the music that i have had the opportunity to enjoy listening to and then purchasing. it's funny how much you think that you will retain if you just can remember the way the song went, or how you felt at the time, or any number of characteristics or recollection.

but maybe for me, like most people, music is a way to gauge how diferent your life has become since that song was your staple song, your audio anchor, and your one time musical lover.

i suppose that in the near future, i will have to just find some free time to go shopping, cause i'm beginning to like the thai version of the modern guitar singer/songwwriter ballad. not that they're necessarily bad or anything like that, just that there's nothing to add them too, collection wise. and this only irks me becasue i have no musical options.

like finding out that you have no socks, but need to go to a black tie event; sure you can do it, but wouldn't you raher be wearing those socks? okay, bad example, but you get the gist.

so, if you got the albums, please go listen now to:

a) any good bjork including remixes lives rares and originals

2) beck any one of his albums especially sea change and mellow gold...then odelay and then midnite vultures

and finally

III) any any any gillian welch album; any of them. just listen to one of her songs for me and i dare you not to love it, i double-dog dare you. ooooooooooh, that's right you heard me.
