Last week someone from a mailing list I'm on was in town for work. A number of us from the list got together for sushi last Thursday night. Since the list was a rave related list I brought along a mix CD, something I usually do for people in the scene I meet. He was like, "oh cool! Is this the one that starts out with all those funky samples? I love listening to that one when I work out." It's cool to know that people I don't know face to face are downloading and enjoying my music. It makes me happy.

Random music related observation. Some of my favorite music is the stuff I listened to when my life was at its lowest point. I'm starting to realize that as I collect music from that time period. I wonder if it's because music was the one place I could escape to and feel good back then.
