The Music Of Pain...

[deird_lj]

Commiserate with me, for I have become a country & western fan.

It's all Fred Burkle's fault, in a way. She put a poster of The Dixie Chicks up in her lab, and I thought "Well, if Fred likes them, they can't be that bad."
Which, yes, is completely stupid, because
1) Fred is a fictional character
and
2) even as a fictional character, I have no idea whether she has good taste in music
but apparently my brain thought this was a good enough reason to buy a Dixie Chicks cd when I saw it on sale.

And it was really good.

And because no-one buys country & western music - ever - the cds keep on being on sale...
And I keep liking them...

This can't end well.

I will stand with you in your right to listen to the Music of Pain. I like the stuff. If you like it fairly twangy (George Jones, Merle Haggard), I can fix you up with a nice starter pack of my favorites on a mix cd or two.

Srsly.

Ooh! Srsly?
That'd be awesome.

What's hitting you so far that you especially like? Do you like the floaty harmonies or the twang of Dobro and steel guitar? Drinking and cheating? The latest modern stuff I do not have, but I adore George and Merle and a host of others, Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, a buncha others. I can set you up.

Be twangy and proud!

Very into the twangyness. It's a lot of fun!
