music meme days 17-19

does anyone actually listen to these things? like, i know only end up listening to maybe half of the music posted on my flist. it's not an intentional thing, it's just that i'm a loser who likes to stay within my musical comfort zone for the most of the time so if something sounds like it will be really different, i skip it. i do have a bookmarks folder full of stuff i mean to give a whirl when i am in one of my musically adventurous moods, but the number of songs and artists in that folder is far greater than my capacity to listen to them all.

does anyone else have the same problem, especially when the music being pushed is from a genre you don't listen to often, or don't particularly like? as much as i like to think i am a ~generous and open~ listener, i'm a lot more likely to click on something that's cutesy or dance bubblegum pop, old-style soul and jazz, or r & b, while avoiding just about everything with the word 'rock' in it - even if it's been given a glowing and detailed review by someone's whose taste i trust. tolerance? i spit on your (musical) tolerance.

whatevs, here's a post that has some awful music in it and some fantastic music in it.

( day 17: a song that you hear often on the radio: Tik-Tok by Ke$ha )

( day 18: a song that you wish you heard on the radio: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart by JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound )
