Boy, It Ain't A Fall Out!

Ever had a moment in your life as a person with a "Listener's Career" when...
you hear a song,
find the it very catchy,
judge that it might be a new release,
Then...
find out it's actually an old song,
And finally...
be frustrated that you didn't get to listen to it when it was still new (and quite relevant? =) )

This moment happens to me very often (oh, how frustrating) and I conjure that it might be because I'm a "Choosey-Title" kind of guy... someone who doesn't listen to a particular song if he's not familiar with the title. And it's also probably because I'm a "Choosey-Artist" kind... one who either does or does not bother to listen to a song if it's by a "certain" artist.

Good thing my wife's love for good music has managed to slowly change this habit of mine. She introduced me to songs with titles and artists I'm not familiar with (which then made me addicted to them). So when a friend lent me CDs by Fall Out Boy, I fought against my initial instinct not to listen to them. And Boy Oh Boy, Was I grateful I did! =)

Fall Out Boy's music is so filled and overflowing with rockin' rhythm and sweat-inducing beats that I immediately became a fan. I was so addicted to their songs that I have one playlist on my iPhone containing only those tunes... and it's one of only a few playlists on my iPhone that I play for several days straight without changing.

Now that I have become a Fall Out Boy fan (among thousands upon thousands) there's only one more thing to say... "This Ain't A Scene, It's a #*%%@$^ Arms Race!"
