My Music Twin

I have a music twin and her name is Kate. I’m glad I have her because it isn’t very fun sometimes living with someone who loves death metal and doesn’t really care for normal music (normal being anything BESIDES death metal – love you Sean!). I have TRIED to find something positive about death metal but I don’t think my love affair with it is meant to be.

It’s very nice to have someone who you can share the things you love with and not have them turn up their nose or say, “I don’t really like John Mayer/The Foo Fighters/Etc.” BTW – if the only John Mayer (or most other bands for that matter) you’ve heard was on the radio, you’re missing out on a LOT. It also works out nicely the other way – my music twin shares music with me and makes a great concert companion. And even though our love affair for music doesn’t go full circle – she doesn’t share my undying devotion to DMB and I don’t really like The Clarks – it’s really a match made in sibling-heaven.

I listen to things in phases. One month I can be on a DMB kick and then the next I can’t get enough of the Dixie Chicks. For the past couple months, I’ve pretty much solely listened to the Twilight playlists Stephenie Meyer posted on her site (they’re awesome BTW).

My good ol’ buddy Steve gave me a $15 iTunes gift card for Christmas so I bought a few new songs that inspired my January 2009 playlist. Only a handful of songs are new – some of them are downright OLD. What are YOU listening to right now?
