I just finished burning some music for a friend and nothing gives me more pleasure than sharing music. I can't wait to hear what she thinks of it.
My taste in music runs the gamut. My preferred music is pop and rock, but over the last few years it has broadened a lot. My kids laugh when they see me buy a Limp Biskit rap. Granted I will probably never buy an entire cd of theirs but this song is fun. Called "Rollin' " if you are interested and explicit just to warn you.
I like it when friends share their music with me as well. I don't always like it but most of the time I at least appreciate it. One thing I have learned is musical tastes are personal. I don't like it when someone criticizes my taste in music and I have learned not to criticize others. Sure there is teasing sometimes, like my daughter and Britney Spears........but when someone really criticizes my music or others it bothers me.
My hobby these days is live music..gigs. I love to go to live shows. I have been lucky enough to go to quite a few in the last few years. The children have developed the love as well, and I was pleased to take them to their first show, SnowPatrol, and we have been to many together since. I took the youngest to see Panic at the Disco thinking I would not like it at all, ended up enjoying a lot, of course the live factor helped.. the crowds the whole "scene"
It isn't a cheap hobby but they don't come along too often so I have managed to get most of the ones I have wanted to see. I have travelled as far as Mexico City to see a show (Robbie Williams, he doesn't tour the US) but lucky for me we live relatively close to Boston and most acts end up at one of the venues. We even get a few big acts in our city once in awhile. I recently went to New York City to see a concert. (Oasis) and it was a great trip...got in some site seeing too.
So now dear readers, and there must be a few, who do you like to listen too? Give me some suggestions I would love it. You can see most of my favorites on my profile and will add to it as I discover new ones.

I'm not sure if you have heard of him over the pond...but I quite fancy Robbie Williams
Mon xx
Yep met him Mexico City.xx
I've recently become a fan of some of the newer music out there. I'm more of an oldies fan (but you know that lol) but I'm really getting into Nickelback right now. Their new album "The Dark Horse" is pretty amazing in terms of Rock and Roll. State of Shock and Theory of a Deadman are also some I've recently discovered.
Is it Camille you burned some music for?
- Ayla
Yes it is. I burned some Jet, Robbie Williams and Stereophonics for her.

Oh awesome. I like Jet. I have their album (Get Born) great stuff. Love the whole CD.
Sterephonics - I love their song "Leaving Las Vegas 2 times" I think it's called. We're SO using that for the Vegas Podcast.
