Music is your special friend

I was feeling glum and tired on the bus to work this morning, listening to random music on my mp3 player and not liking anything I heard.  Then it played the live version of "The Song Remains the Same" by Zep, and suddenly I was smiling, tapping my foot, and struggling not to sing out loud on a crowded bus.  It's amazing what the right music at the right time can accomplish.

That segued into "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider, which made me grin for other reasons, but let's not go there. :)

I updated every driver I could think of on my home PC last night.  It seems like the lockups are happening mostly during heavy graphics usage (watching flash videos, playing Second Life), so I was especially careful to update and test my graphics card driver.  All checks out perfectly.  Now the waiting begins.

'Lunatic Fringe' was the first song I learned on guitar completely by myself from the recording.

Song Remains... to Lunatic Fringe is a good segue.

No prob, I do that all the time, too. And yes, I'm often impressed by the DJ skills and mystical insight of the randomizer on my mp3 player. For example, on one recent morning it went from "And When I Die" to "Please Don't Bury Me". :)
