My Latest Music Obsession

I have to admit, I get stuck in music ruts.  I don't know how it happens, but I go through periods where I fear putting my iPod on shuffle. I only want to listen to one or two artists.... on repeat.  Recently, I only listened to White Lies and Twin Shadow, which is such an amazing combo.   

They have been replaced.  For the past week or so, I have listened to nothing but Blur.  It started out just wanting to listen to "To the End." 




I love, love, love love this song!  The video is pretty cool, too.  It's just the perfect  love song.  

Listening to "To the End" lead to a solid diet of the album Parklife.  It is in my top ten albums of all time.  How can you go wrong with brilliant song writing?

I kind of feel really lame that it took me this long to appreciate Blur.   I spent the 90's being a diehard Oasis fan.  Blur was just ok.  Now, given the choice, I'd pick Blur over Oasis anyday.
