When David and I met with our officiant the other week, she had asked us to fill in this questionnaire. Why were we getting married? What did we like about each other? Etc. Etc.
I mentioned that David and I love doing the same things, we have so much in common; including going to concerts/gigs. I'd only been to one concert before I started dating David. 'Brother Beyond' circa 1989. Poddy - feel free to ridicule me FOREVER...
Anyway, I love it. I love going to gigs. And during this wedding planning process I came across this amazing music web site. www.pandora.com
You enter in a bunch of music your like; Coldplay, James Blunt, The Fray, Keane, The Killers, Snow Patrol, etc. and then it suggests other music you'll like based on those suggestions. It's awesome. You can tailor it; tell it you like the suggestions or you don't and it refines to your taste.
I just heard a song by Howie Day called 'Brace Yourself' and it's pretty darn cool. Never heard of him before, but now I like him. I think it's officially my favorite web site.
To go back to my original point, I am so greatful to David for that. I'm so thankful that he's taken me to many concerts and shared his love of music with me. That's why I love him (and my new favorite website.)
I entered Coldplay, James Blunt, Dido and Keane. It suggested having an ear-putation.

LOL I can always count on Poddy to hate my taste in music! ;-)

I'm a bit worried about your professed liking for the Killers though. Please tell me you think the second album is the better.

This new one is their third? Then I do prefer the second. The latest album is growing on me but i prefered their previous!

No. Second. And the first Was better. This turn of events is very disturbing. It isn't right at all.

That's we're agreeing on something musically? :-)

Yes. Clearly one of us has been neglected an appointment to have our ears syringed.

Thank you for the website recommendation. I've told Luca about it - it sounds like something he'd absolutely love.
