I'm eclectic. When it comes to music I truly enjoy many, many types.I admit to having more time to explore genres I'd never have contemplated when working. I was fairly up-to-date with modern pop during this past winter. In Mexico, we had a good enough Internet connection for me to stream a lot. I figured out a way to copy it to my phone so I could take my daily walk in the sun while learning the newest artists. Some new stuff is simply amazing. I sort of don't understand why some songs fit into the defined, specific categories.
In the old days it was expensive to immerse oneself in unfamiliar music. Now, that's clearly not the case. Thank you, Internet.
Earlier this morning, I was updating my music on Google Play. At one point I uploaded thousands of old favourites I'd collected when music first turned digital. I keep adding to that. Honestly, it is a little hard today figuring out what is streaming and what is in my own library there. Playlists and stations are obviously different things, yet they can all tickle my ears on a mere request.
Moments ago, I was searching for the genre name for country-type of music that involves splashing around on a beach, flipflops, and drinking cold Coronas. I didn't really figure out what it's called, much less the artists most apt to sing a song like that.
I did find It's Five O'Clock Somewhere Radio. It wasn't really what I was looking for. It surely is fun, in a slightly ironic sort of way though.
