I dont really listen to music. I just listen to what I overhear my brothers and sisters play. Sometimes I also overhear the radio. Sometimes I overhear people talk. Sometimes...
...Mosttimes I don't know what the hell they are talking about. But on those rare occassions when I understand, I underhear. So as you can probably tell I'm not too good a listener. I'm trying to be a good talker though, which involves listening for what people want to overhear.
I may not be too hip with the music crowd, but what I do like I really do like. Make some recommendations of your favorite artists, specific songs and what they mean to you - how do they make you feel, does it remind you of something. As for me, it helps me remember, stay awake, or fall asleep.
