Uuuuuuuuuugh.

Seriously? Music. Well I should've seen it coming. It's a common topic, so it had to be discussed eventually. But still, my musical tastes aren't something I usually discuss. Why? Because I really can't defend them. I like what I like, and I like it because for some reason, I LIKE IT. Are the lyrics speaking to my soul? Occasionally, but not often enough that I judge music on it. Do I just appriciate the beat & rythyms? I suppose, but that's why people like music in the first place. It's like saying you enjoy food because it tastes good.
Oh food - there's a metaphor to jump on. So let's compare one my favorite bands to food & see if that will explain it. For this example, I shall pull up the DC indie pop-rock group You Me And Everyone We Know. Why YM&EWK, ratehr than one of the more mainstream bands on my iPod, such as FOB or Cobra? Because I happened to have a link to one of their songs on my clipboard.

So, if YouMe were a food. They would be... Spicey? Not really. They're soothing in a way. Salty? I suppose, but what food isn't a little salty? It's a base flavor, and you can't like it for that alone. Cheesy? Well that product is already tied to a quality, so not really. Sweet? I guess - they've got more than a few songs that sound like bubblegum top 40 hits.
This metaphor is not going well.

Let's just tie them down to a food & end this post. They're popcorn. Filling, entertaining, and complimentary to any mood. On it's own, it's great. But when used to accent something, like a movie or an activity, it becomes splendid. Unless you're accenting an Atkins convention.

So the moral is "Everyone &" (I know, I'm jumping around on the abbreviations) is bad if you're watching carbs.}
Told you I suck at this.
