Welcome to my world
Nerf Herder is no more. Not that that's news. But it saddens me.
Parry Gripp is trying to sell music to commercials.
That doesn't bother me, good for him. It's just that I remember a time when music wasn't so disposable. Or was it always disposable?
I have about 4000 songs in my ipod. I think I have listened to 2000 of them, maybe once (and my iPod seems to love the White Stripes these days....) but I have noticed something about all that choice.
If I drive my wife's Prius with my Ipod connected to the cassette deck (Don't get me started.....Toyota can give us 50mpg but they don't include an MP3 player dock?) and I press "shuffle songs", invariably I find myself pressing "next"...."next"....."next".....We pretty much arrive at our destination without ever having listened to a song all the way through.
I find myself turning talk radio or Indie 103 or NPR on just so I can have someone else program my listening queue.
That's it. It's a first post. I doubt anyone will ever read it.
R.I.P. Nerf Herder.

*reads it and then doesn't admit to it*
d'oh!
I did not read it and now I am going to have all of my friends not read it too.
I'm kidding.
I don't have any friends.
