When our kids were teenagers, they frequently gave me a tape of their favorite music, so I could become acquainted with it. Many times, I ended up liking their choices, and still listen to them today. Recently, I "discovered" Muse, and immediately went out and bought one of their CDs. Now, I'm gonna have to go out and buy a Train CD. Yep, I LIKE their sound. And lyrics.

Good for you!<br /><br />Susan ~ After I saw them in concert that first time, I saw them again not too long after (maybe a year later) still with the ex. And then I was just too sick to do anything for so many years. As in so many years. From 20005 until 2012 I feel like I dropped out of life in so many ways. I started this blog in 2010, and I can see from reading those old posts just how sick I was. Hanging by a thread really. In 2012, I saw Train again. It's the only concert I've seen in many years now. I just love them, so I fully understand your daughter's infatuation.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-53257532857967077492015-01-08T23:45:25.298-05:002015-01-08T23:45:25.298-05:00I lost a bunch of one-off songs I'd bought on ...I lost a bunch of one-off songs I'd bought on iTunes early on when I got a virus on my computer-reinforced my decision to keep CD's (along with the better fidelity on my home stereo).<br /><br />Apple did a great job of making iPods easy, but I wondered about the battery life....although my old Shuffle (1st generation-looks like a pack of Wrigley's gum) is still working.<br />DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-59842992454203518872015-01-08T21:38:40.271-05:002015-01-08T21:38:40.271-05:00I love Drops of Jupiter and so many other Train so...I love Drops of Jupiter and so many other Train songs.

And tha...I do have Pat's solo album on my IPod. And that was great until my battery started dying every ten minutes. Did you know that places like Radio Shack won't replace the battery for those things because it's very easy to crack/break the case when replacing the battery, so it's do so at your own risk. And then my damn IPod stopped playing after each and every song, so I'd have to restart it manually (which is a real pain when you're in the shower). It makes me regret investing any money there and not just sticking with CDs.<br /><br />I'm going to cover all of the Train songs on their albums (though most were never released) because I think it's really quite fascinating. That said, when we hit the period where Pat recorded solo, I'm not going to use the title song, because I just don't love it like I do the rest.<br /><br />Did he tell you that he's started watching Joan of Arcadia??? Now, so far as I know he's only seen (at most) the first two discs, which equates to eight episodes, and he hasn't sent me an email with the verdict on the second disc... so it could still be panned.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-63765324955538465692015-01-08T20:10:50.502-05:002015-01-08T20:10:50.502-05:00<<<<---The second song though was kind...<<<<---The second song though was kind of loud and fast.

It's funny that you say that because I feel like this is actually one of those My Generation songs (after its own fashion) akin to your BOTB post from January 1. Of course, since it was never released most people have never even heard it, but that's still how it strikes me.<br /><br />Did you see LC's comment below?
