I've always considered music one of my passions but recently, I've noticed that all I want to do is listen to it. These past couple of years I've gotten into going to shows and discovering new bands. It sounds cliché but my life has changed because of it. It has gotten to the point where whenever I meet someone new, the first question I ask them is what their favorite music is. I will admit that I judge the answers I receive. "Oh, I'm into everything really. Except country... ew." or "You know, I really just listen to the stuff they play on the radio." would be considered "incorrect" answers. I want an answer that will intrigue me. Someone who is really specific about their taste in music is intriguing. It tells me that they are just as passionate as I am. Even if our taste in music differs, I appreciate the specificity in hopes that they can introduce me to bands or artists they like.
Now that I've gone off on a tangent, back to my craving for music. Liking your favorite bands or artists on Facebook or following them on Twitter is a great way to find out about upcoming tours and show dates for your city. I've noticed a ton of good tours popping up for winter and spring this year and I'm so excited. For example, A Day To Remember is coming back to Washington this Spring. The last time I saw them was March 31st of last year and it was one of the best nights of my life. However, ADTR is not headlining this time but it should still be awesome. The tickets are a little pricey, but it's worth it to see my favorite band again. We Came As Romans is also coming back to WA next month I believe. I really want to go, but I have to start thinking more about the money I spend. That's a totally different blog post, though.
Another way I've been filling my craving for music recently is downloading music. With the new SOPA/PIPA bill on the front burner, people are freaking out about file sharing websites being the first ones to get taken down. My music downloader of choice is Mediafire and I know tons of other people use it so it'll probably one of the first to go. I'm looking up bands and downloading their music by album so I'll have all of it just in case. My boyfriend Mike has been introducing me to a lot of bands too which has helped me decide what to download. I've been listening to a lot of The Wonder Years, You Me At Six, Title Fight, Major League, and Of Mice & Men. I have my iTunes on shuffle constantly. Especially these last few days when I've been stuck in the house because of the snow.
