Going easy on your ears won't be easy
Today, apparently, is No Music Day, a day whose name also serves as it's instructions: NO MUSIC! All Music's theory is a good one: that it's a way to give ourselves a break from music, make it sound more fresh, and then feast on music the next day.
There's just one little problem for us Americans (which the guy behind No Music Day is not) is that the day before Thanksgiving involves a LOT of travel. So I'm going to try to go musicless, but I'm not sure I'll be able to face the day of trains, buses, planes and cars without music. I'm going to try, but the second I can't get away from the ubiquitous nasally girl on her phone, the ear buds are going in. I'm just sayin' that right now. Getting it out there.
If you've chosen to go music-free today...best of luck to you. You'll need it. Go listen to Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me.

Sometimes when I watch football I think to myself, a No Music Broadcast would be much appreciated. To wit: John Mellencamp's "This Is Our Country" jingle playing at every break, Hank Williams Jr's "Are You Ready For Some Football", and Faith Hill's "Monday Night Football on NBC" theme song, which is aptly a bastardization of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You". Only modifying a song about wanting to be deaf could be more apt.
Seriously. Why can't Sunday be a No Music Day? I could do that, and we could get rid of all those songs, too.
So I'm already out. I was all set to adhere to the No Music Day rules, but then I saw that there was a live LCD Soundsystem video of my favorite song of the year. I'm not made of stone!
It was worth it, too. Goosebump city.
No Music Day, huh?
Screw that.
