As I type this, both Will and I are sitting in the living room.  He's finishing up a school assignment (he promises that it won't take until 2 AM this time) and I'm trying to think of a funny story to blog about.  While we do these things I'm torturing him playing him music from my iTunes folder.  According to the footer toolbar thingie, I have so much music in here that I could leave iTunes on for seventy four and a half days before the songs would start to repeat. That means two things: I have more music than I know what to do with (honestly, I couldn't tell you all of the artists I have on here, let alone all of the songs) and putting my iTunes on shuffle is nothing short of a musical adventure. It just switched from Black Sabbath to Sugar Ray. No kidding. I'm pretty sure that Will's head is going to explode soon, which will make it much harder to get to sleep at a decent hour.

Will insists that he has better taste in music than I do.  He also insists that he knows more about music than I do.  In some ways he's right.  I couldn't tell you who the artists in the top 40 are right now for all of the money lost by Wall Street.  In other ways, like music history and older music trivia, I totally kick his ass.  In terms of taste, however, well that's going to be up for debate until we both keel over from stubbornness.

I will admit that Will is more discerning in the music he chooses to listen to than I am.  I'll give just about anything a chance and can tolerate almost all music (though classic country, Justin Timberlake and John Mayer all make me want to pull my ears off) while Will will switch the channel after a few bars if the music is not either twangy old country (gag), techno (bleh), or butt rock (some of which I do actually enjoy). This makes putting together playlists for things like road trips and, oh, a wedding, kind of hard.

I have to say though, that while some of my music makes Will want to tear his hair out, we haven't had a hang out and listen to music in a long time.  Usually the television or a computer game gives us our background noise.  I'd forgotten how nice it was to just listen to music…which is sad since I have two and a half months worth of the stuff.

Sweet!  It just shuffled from Miss Halfway by Anya Marina to AM Radio by Everclear!  I love my iTunes!
