If someone asked me how I felt about music, I'd most likely say that music is really important to me, but lately I've been thinking about whether or not that's really true. I've always known that I don't seem to have the same frantic need for noise as other people. I don't twitch whenever I'm separated from my iPod. (In fact, I frequently misplace it for weeks at a time.) I don't feel the need to listen to music when I'm walking, riding the bus, studying, or just sitting around. It's not that I mind having music on, I just don't ever really think about turning it on.
Since thinking about that, and noticing that a lot of my friends are getting into last.fm and all, I've tried to be a little more conscious of the times when I'm sitting in silence, and I'm trying to listen to music more. I am really amused by how diverse everyone's tastes (including mine!) are, even though I've always known that. I guess it's just a little funnier to see that some people listen to different types of music back to back? I don't really tend to do that unless I have some kind of theme going on with my playlist, but I don't tend to make playlists in the first place. But I do think that Japanese music tends to have more variety within an artist or an album just because they don't get as caught up in genre and intended audience, I guess. I kinda like that freedom to just do what you want without having to have a big image change or risk alienating fans.
Hmm... I'll leave you with a tongue-twister!

(In (Mr) Niwa's garden, two chickens suddenly ate a crocodile.)
