That is correct. I am back. Though I am not in the same position I was in at the paper, I have returned to speak my mind. I guess in a way I have been holding my breath. I haven't said much for a while, but I haven't heard anything that moved me to speak. However, I recently found some things that caught my interest. I guess its what you could call our generation's oldies.
I stumbled on an old Now 2 CD at my house the other day. That CD brings me back to the days of old. The days of Semisonic, Robbie Williams, Everclear, Fastball, Tonic, Spice Girls, Sugar Ray, Matchbox Twenty, Blink 182, Eagle Eye Cherry, Marcy Playground, and the list goes on and on. Some of the songs by theses bands still put me in a good mood.
Finally, the other day I decided to get the newest Matchbox Twenty CD, Exile on Mainstream. I loved it mostly for the second disc. It is a greatest hits CD. I realized that, as much as I would like to say that I have grown past their music, I still love some of this old music. I think I like it either because the music is catchy or maybe just because I associate with a fun time in my life. Either way, I have found that we have some interesting oldies.
Most of the songs are still very fun to sing along to with friends. For instance, a coworker and I listen to and half-way sing "Closing Time" by Semisonic nearly every night that we close together here lately. I guess there are some bands that have songs that hold up after all this time.
All bands that have songs that have aged well please step forward-Not quite so fast Sugar Ray!
This is going to be a good semester my friends!
