Oh, how I missed music

I have been thinking about doing a post on music for about the last week, but haven't gotten around to doing it. After reading her recent post on music I figured I best put something down before I forget or get lazy and not bother.

Over the past couple of years I have really been absent from the world of music. I have never been one to buy a lot of records (yes, records), tapes or cds...mostly because I don't like to purchase something unless I really, really like it. So I don't really have a large collection of music, and what I do have consists of stuff I listened to from ages 12-18. Although I like to listen to that music on occasion (ok...Snoop is the exception) for nostaglic reasons, it is kinda out-dated.

So...most of the music I listen to comes from the radio. Whether it is from my morning alarm or while driving in my car.

Over the last couple of years, both of these things were missing in my life. Although I was in school I never hung around in the mornings to listen to the radio, and I was never driving anywhere.

Since I have been back at work, it has been great to be able to listen to music again. And thanks to Ril, Pandora came into my life. It is amazing....especially at work. So most of the stuff I have heard on the radio over the past month, I have been able to add to 'Marcia's Music.' It's fantastic.

When it comes to my music genre of choice, I don't have one. I like rap, R&B, rock, disco (woot!), instrumental, jazz, easy listening, and even some country. Some of my current favourite songs are:

Breathless by 40 Below Summer
Irreplaceable by Beyonce
Lips of an Angel by Hinder
Screaming Infidelities by Joanna
How we do it by Mario Vasquez
Too Little Too Late by JoJo

I am not sure what kind of music was popular over the past 2 years, but I am liking what I've heard so far in 2006/2007.
