So we got on a cleaning kick last night. We plowed through our CD’s and cassettes (Yes, we still had some of those around!) But before giving away some of these beauties, I’m putting them on my computer so I can still listen to a few favourites of a decade (and century) gone by.
Today, I’m loading them up… and it struck me…
This song USED to be awesome! Something has moved. I’m pretty sure the signal of that disc is burned in with a laser, so it’s not that. So either I got less cool or that music lost a step. Let’s not debate that question here, shall we?
So come on. Let’s open up. Who made your list of “used to sound cool” music recently?
Mine: A great band named Plankeye, whose albums grabbed me by the throat in my college years. Today? I can likely pass these blessings on to someone else.


I’ve been accepted as the most recent member of the “I’m sure I used to be in good shape” club. It’s a quickly growing club, if you weren’t already aware of it.
On our way home, we had the honour of doing Monday twice. When we finally called it a day, we did so in that collapse-into-your-own-bed-after-a-long-holiday kind of way.
