itunes overload

sometimes i think i have too much music. yeah, i said it. too much music.

i have my favorite artists but they've been favorites for years. i've branched out a lot since my introduction to the rock side of the music world, but i still feel like i have a lot to learn, so many more classic 90's emo bands to listen to, appreciate and love; and so many more of my old school favorites' new albums to learn and appreciate. i'm still stuck on motion city's i am the movie, and say anything's is a real boy, and the academy is' almost here, and armor for sleep's what to do when you're dead.

i should probably love fall out boy based on all the other bands i like. i own all their albums, but i've never listened to them much. it makes me feel like a cheater and a slacker.

i should love and adore jimmy eat world and it's probably a sin for a person like me NOT to, but i just haven't given them the time of day. i own all their albums. i've never made it through an entire one. (i'm proving myself wrong as i type this.)

i should probably like anberlin and own more than two of their songs. i should probably put more time into jack's mannequin than i do. same goes for sufjan. and ok go and silversun pickups and taking back sunday and saves the day and manchester orchestra and the new quietdrive and academy is albums.

it's ridiculous, but sometime i don't feel worthy enough to belong to this music world i'm a part of. i just don't feel well-rounded sometimes, and i feel bad.

so here's the summer resolution - branch out; but not into new bands; branch back in time, into what i already own and have never delved into. back to the classics that should be the foundation for my love for rock music. or emo. or pop. or whatever you want to call it. alternative heaven forbid.
