Below Mainstream Summer Mix

At work we listen to music now and again. We talk about it some, and it makes me realize that I’m completely out of touch with it. All I know these days are what gets played on the radio because I’m one of the two people in NYC that has a car. The radio is awful in New York, but somehow I gravitate to it. I can sing along to Top 40′s radio all day and night. I don’t mind it, but I definitely feel like I’ve lost some musical sophistication. In some ways I want to be a little pretentious.

I mean how can I fill out all those social media questionairres about music if my tastes are a decade old? I have an iPhone, but I never really get around to making mixes anymore. Hell I got bored of all my music a long time ago, I didn’t want to buy any, I didn’t feel like torrenting any, and the whole thing seemed lost. We went through an entire Pandora phase, but the strange thing was that after a few hours of listening it seemed to loop. I kept on trying different ways to classify my rock needs, and nothing seemed to change. Now I am fully onto 8tracks. My interns are trying to bring me up to speed. It makes me feel old.
