I Miss Music

So far, since cutting out iTunes, Pandora, and other personal music accountrements, I have found myself whistling earworms of artists I haven’t really been into since the late 90’s: Pavement, Mike Watt, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats.

Not listening to music makes me listen to more music in my head though. I always try to remember the lyrics and chord progressions of songs that I really like. Because, just in case I go back in time someday I want to be able to try to recreate the songs from memory and pretend I wrote them. I wonder what people would think if it was 1955 and I played “99 Problems”.

Also, I miss using web-based tools. For instance, I don’t know if I used the word accountrements appropriately up there, but I can’t use an online dictionary, and I sold my last hard copy dictionary two years ago on Amazon.com.
