On several occasions in my life I have randomly held onto a cd that I really had no interest in listening to.  I think the best case for this was from my youth, when randomly the BMG CD Club sent me Pablo Honey by Radiohead.  When someone visiting the house said they were I put it in the cd player and never looked back.

So yesterday driving home I was tired and looking for something to keep me awake.  I grabbed the cd’s in the door of my car and came upon Oh My Me.  I had picked up the cd with Wussy and Sundresses from a Kickstarter campaign last year.  I love Wussy (they are amazing, check them out) and the Sundresses impressed the hell out of me as well.  But Oh My Me, I had no clue who they were, and their cd was in a plastic sleeve looking a little underwhelming.

But wanting something new to keep me up I threw the cd in the car.  The first song was blew me away.  Sounding both old jazz/bluesy and yet something altogether different at the same time.  I was awake and involved in the music for the next 20 minutes til I arrived at home.  A quick search and purchase later and I had a live album to along with the cd I already had.

Life is good.  I’ve got new music to listen to.  And that’s always a good thing.
