The Challenge: Vital Information

I've decided to do something very dangerous. Ok, so maybe it's not that dangerous, but it can't be very healthy for my mental state. See, I'm really picky when it comes to music. I listen to a very select number of bands, and everything else sucks. That's my theory on most days. I love Anberlin, Alkaline Trio, Taking Back Sunday, and other bands that, I guess, would be called alternative. I listen to more mainstream stuff too, like The Fray and Akon (he's my dish-washing music). But my most hated band in the world is Nickelback. I shudder just thinking of the next three months.

I've decided to listen to nothing but Nickelback until April. When I'm in my car, I must listen to Nickelback. When I work out...Nickelback. When I'm washing my dishes...you guessed it... Nickelback. There are a few exceptions. When I'm at work, I can listen to whatever is playing on the radio. When I'm in someone else's car, I can listen to what they're listening to. But mostly, it'll be Nickelback and only Nickelback for quite some time. And I can't just sit in silence, either, which I'm sure would be much more appealing. Oh, and by the way, I'm only listening to one CD.

I'm staring this challenge on Wednesday, January 27, 2010. D-Day. I'm currently on a music binge. Yesterday, I listened to "Paperthin Hymn" by Anberlin three times in a row. The other day, I rocked out to "Fin" by Anberlin with my headphones on, in the middle of West Science. You have no idea how incredible good music sounds when you're about to give it up.

So, here goes nothing. I'll be listening to music non-stop until Wednesday.
