March to March.

Time flies, and such. Come the 11th, Aaronology.net will be a year old. If I let my mind linger on how little I’ve done with the site I’ll probably get frustrated and a bit down. But it’s really not all that bad. What’s a year, and what’s 60 bucks, anyway?

Jazz is playing on the last.fm radio, Nina Simone. It’s a nice change from everything I’ve been listening to recently. I’ve been gorging myself on post-rock for the last few months, particularly the band Mono and just recently Mogwai, God Is An Astronaut, Red Sparowes, and others. I listened to them while dozing off to sleep, while gaming, in the shower, doing homework, and any other time I could get close to my music. I guess I overdid it somewhere along the way. Something snapped, ha, and yesterday morning I found myself unable to bear any more post rock.

Weird, yeah? The point is I needed a change and jazz called out to me. And what music, too. I’ve adored everything I’ve heard so far, loving tracks left and right. Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, Stanly Jordan, Dinah Washington… names I’ve either never heard of or never cared for until now. But I’m quickly discovering that Jazz fits me like a well tailored suit. That shouldn’t be a surprise, I guess. I take after my dad in nearly everything else and this is his favorite music; heck, the only thing I think he’ll acknowledge as music.

Austin is curled up on my pillow behind me. My shades are drawn. The house is quiet. It feels like an easygoing day.
