Current addiction: I Stay Away. Alice in Chains.
Sigh.
Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez should have their own wing in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for that song. The music is just so amazing. Jar of Flies is fucking
amazing. It's funny because when I was in my "Alice in Chains Mode"...I listened to Jar of Flies the least. I was definitely addicted to Facelift. Man, was I really
into that band for awhile. I swear I watched Facelift Live everyday for awhile there. Anyway...I listened to I Stay Away about a million times and it got me thinking
about a lot of things...
- Man I love/miss Seattle. I know I haven't spent TONS of time there...but I just love that city. I realized last night that Seattle is the only other city (than Detroit) that gives me a
special feeling when I'm there. Literal love. I know it's silly to be in "love" with a city...but the overall emotion I feel in Seattle is close to what I feel when I spend time downtown.
Maybe the feelings I have for Seattle all stem from my "childhood" obsession with the city. When I was 14, I thought I was going to go to move to Seattle as "soon" as I turned 18. Me and my
best friend at the time actually had a Seattle folder where we kept tidbits about the city...I even used to have a map of Washington state on my wall. SUCH a dork...but what a quirky dork I was.
Anyway...I went to Jazzercise tonight. I went alone, even! I didn't go with anyone from work! Co-worker(s) was/were going to attend at the later class...but I prefer the earlier class so I can go
straight from work. It's fun going with people you know...but I can't shape my workouts around everyone else's schedule; afterall, I am working out for me. I ended up biting the bullet and signing
up for the monthly pass...where I can go to umlimited amounts of classes. It's kind of a good deal...if you go to four classes within the month, it pays for itself. And since my goal is to go
eight times a month, it's definitely worth it. I would like to go three times a week...but it's so tough when you have other things to do, whether it be errands or condo searching.
Back to music...
- The death of Layne Staley still irks me. Such a sad situation. Imagine if Layne were clean and sober and alive and contributing to crappy Alice in Chains records (ok, perhaps they
would've been GOOD). I dunno...just sad...
I've gone crazy for a couple of different bands. Kind of funny to think about them: Alice in Chains, Our Lady Peace, Oasis, Nine Inch Nails, The Backstreet Boys. Oh oh oh! And how could I forget Soundgarden?
Kind of funny to think about my crazy brain and the music it likes and latches onto. I hardly listen to any of those bands anymore...but hot damn, sometimes it just feels so wonderful to hear
their shit. I love when a song comes on my iPod and I'm like...man, I almost forgot that this song existed and ALSO that this song kicks ass! Ah. iPods.
