Please don't stop the music

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to update very often. Truth be told, I'm lazy. I know, it's a shock, right?

First off: There are some cover versions of songs that should never be done. Today at the bookstore I heard a saxophone version of the theme from Schindler's List. How wrong is that? Another one that I heard in Nordstrom's was a male-vocal version of Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful.' It actually took me like 3 minutes to figure out what the song was. While I'm at it, why don't I rail on ironic versions of Britney Spears songs? Because, believe it or not, it's been DONE BEFORE. And while it's funny the first time, I've heard about three alternative versions of Toxic and one of Gimme More, and probably more that I'm just not specifically remembering right now.

In other news, I'm about to play my last symphony concert ever. Well, kind of. I'm still gonna be on the sub list for next year, so i'll probably end up playing at least one. It's kind of a sad time (although I won't miss schlepping to Iowa twice a month) because I've been in it for 6 years now, and it'll be the first time since I was in elementary school that I wasn't in at least some sort of orchestra. I feel kind of like an entire era of my life is ending. Unless I stick around and do the University Symphony next year, which I'm seriously considering. I'm pretty sure that they accept employees...

While I'm talking about music, I have a confession to make: I officially have no taste, or more specifically, I have the musical taste of a 12-year-old girl. For instance, I actually like Avril Lavigne's last album. And that single by Miley Cyrus? Totally addictive. I've even recanted my criticism of Madonna's new single and actually listen to it now. (Well, no, my criticism still stands. What's even worse is that the version I first listened to isn't the real version, which is even worse. I'm assuming that it was the radio-friendly version, which was sped up and didn't have the dumb intro and outro)
