eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm an earphone addict, and I'm beginning to suffer the consequences. I've self-diagnosed myself with tinnitis, the ringing in the ears. Even in fairly noisy places, I can still hear the ringing, and in quiet places, I could almost call it loud.
"So Reid," you say, "maybe you should think about not wearing the headphones so much, huh? Or maybe not turn them up so loud, huh? Idiot?" Well, first of all, we really don't need that kind of abusive language. Secondly, this is where the addict part comes in. I can't stop. Even this morning, it wasn't enough to listen to the Charlatans "The Only One I Know" through speakers; I had to have it right in my ears. And then I had to listen to M.I.A. And then the volume just keeps rising.
In as much as I could mean this phrase: I can't help it. It's destroying my ears, but I can't stop. I try to resist, but I always slide back into the old destructive ways. I'm ensuring myself a future of deafness. Sad, but fun.
So let this be a lesson to you? Sure. Whatever. Oh, and go to Teaching the Indie Kids To Dance Again and get the new Sufjan Stevens song. And see if you understand my problem.

wow. It's just like we're back in college, and it's 1:00 am on a Sunday night. Dave Kendall is telling us about the new videos from New Fast Automatic Daffodils and Jesus Jones.
Yeah, I was listening to "The Only One I Know" because there was a conversation on the March group yesterday about putting together a mix of songs from 1990, so I figured I'd put together my own mix. That's why that song came up. Still, I listen to that one a lot. It's great, even if it rips off a Deep Purple song.
