New Old Music

It's payday in my world, so that meant a trip to iTunes. Music is the consistent, unfailing pleasure of my life, so it makes sense that the bulk of my "entertainment" consists of clicking "buy." In addition to Billie Holiday's 'Solitude,' I bought the Jackson 5 Stripped Mixes, which also includes stripped, bare bones versions of Michael's solo stuff from that era. I got a few other things, too. Pandora.com introduced me to K'Jon's lovely song "On the Ocean," which makes me happy and sad at once. For me, if a song is really good, that's typically the experience. When a song gets at the root of something true, for me, it is like returning to something and someone I was supposed to know.
