My wife tells me frequently that I get too stressed out over politics. She is right... I work at home and usually I have either a progressive talk radio show playing or c-span. I spend too much time browsing political sites and online newspapers. I get wrapped up in correcting disinformation in comment sections on my local newspaper site, Charlotte Observer. I need to chill the fuck out.
I love music and I played guitar in bands for years and years. For the last couple of years I really haven't spent any time playing my guitar or listening to music that much (other than when riding in my car). Last night I was watching South Park because nothing else was interesting to me. How ironic... watch part of the episode and you will understand what I mean.
After watching this shitty South Park episode, I realized that I just don't pay attention to much else because it all sounds like shit to me. Have you ever experienced the "everything sounds like shit" syndrome?
So, this morning I decided I needed to try and find something to listen to that didn't sound like shit to me. I was successful... so I felt I would share my results with DKos in hopes that I might be able to help other people like me who just have gotten to the point where everything looks and sounds like shit.
Enjoy some music. Let me know if it sounds like shit to you...

I hope that this diary made your Friday suck just a little less.
