Life has been pretty hectic lately. I've found myself spinning a lot more plates to their inevitable conclusion than I would have thought right now. But somewhere in that chaos, I can still remember to take the time to find the beauty in life. Cause it can go by pretty fast and I want to remember more than the blur.
So tonight, I'm sipping on a little Jamie and listening to new millenium music. New millenium music, eh? You betcha.
Every music magazine that has ever made a list of the 100 most essential albums tends to skew towards my father's record collection, not mine. Sure the Beatles and the Stones and the Beach Boys are all great. But when the Clash are the youngest act second to Nirvana (and sometimes Radiohead), its time to hit the refresh button.
Hence, new millenium music. Nothing with a release date before '00.
Hence, Modest Mouse. Blink 182. Franz Ferdinand. Regina Spektor. Even a little Black Eyed Peas. Maybe at some point soon, I'll actually sit down and write a list. But for now, I'm just as comfortable asking you what your new classics are. Drop me a line if it moves you.
