Through Being Cool
At times consciously, at times unconsciously, I have been censoring my music consumption. I've been using last.fm for about a year now and I think I've been too concerned with appearances. At first, I just tried to cut out classical music and podcasts (because I don't think they would really contribute to usage statistics that are meaningful to me - I want to know what people with similar pop music interests are listening to . . . if I want to listen to anything else, I can just ask Kara). But as time passed, I found myself stopping the last.fm plugin when I was listening to music that I thought would "taint" my statistics. I think this admission is probably more embarrassing than the music I listen to, but it needed to be said. So, ironically enough, I'm starting the plugin today with a song off Saves the Day's "Through Being Cool" record. And yes, that "sham" label applies to me. The truth hurts, sometimes.Labels: internet, music, sham, technology
