Music Hath Charms

Now that everything's straightened out with my work iPhone, I'm paying more attention to what will once again become my personal-only phone once it's no longer firm-managed in about a week and a half. Today I decided to try and move a bit more into 21st century audio, and tried out my Apple Music subscription by rifling through a bunch of stations with songs and artists from the last quarter century or so. I pretty much stopped following music in the early '90s due to a confluence of issues (my pissedness at how CD sellers completely overtook vinyl to the point where my preferred way of listening went the way of the dodo, at least back then; also other things like the internet and personal stuff) so I thought this might be a nice way to catch up. And as it happens, I'm still an Old, as my new favorite album is Elton John's and Brandi Carlisle's Who Believes in Angels?, which I listened to and loved on my homeward commute. But I'm determined to also like other music making kids, once I obsess over Carlisle's entire discography...
