I just started a free trial of Google Music, liking it all right so far. I've vowed to become aware of what going on with pop music and it seems like Google Music will deliver. I haven't kept up with pop in about 15 years.
Shit, son, I don't pay for it I let it upload my iTunes and stream it for free. I've found that of my friends who pay for it, they generally have like one album of all my eclectic shit. But then, I have zero interest in pop music. I don't have to. God speed.
The pop thing is an experiment. I'm severely disassociated from popular culture, I've watched one episode of one show so far this year, i haven't gone to a movie yet this year, I don't follow any professional sports and I just listened to Drake for the first time in my life this week. Podcast are pretty much the only hook pop culture has in me. I'm not going to watch shows and I'm sure as shit not watching grown men get paid millions to play kid games. I feel weird about how little involved I am in today's culture. I've been developing an unhealthy animosity for the American way of life and value system for years now. I need to reconnect somewhere and music is that which I most dearly love after people. Maybe I'll come out of it more of a hater than ever.
