A Crisis of Faith

I've just realized that I may have awful music taste. I can't be sure; I'm wracked with doubt and paralyzed with indecision. A while back, Amazon had a promotion where they offered a few mp3s as free downloads. One of them was Mike Snow's "Animal" which I downloaded, listened to, and then decided to delete because I didn't much care for it.

Fast forward a month to last night (shit just got real, blogger buddies). I was getting caught up on "Cougar Town" which is a cinematic masterpiece, crafted by the greatest American minds in the industry. Anyways, during the episode "Turn This Car Around" there was a song playing in the background that I found alluring. I hunted the interwebs for the song lyrics so I could download it.

Lo and behold, it was that same Mike Snow song. So basically, depending on the context when I hear the song, I may love or hate the EXACT same song! This is forcing me to re-evaluate my entire music selection. I mean, what if all those Paris Hilton songs AREN'T good? What if I only THINK they're good because I was having fun when I heard them the first time?

Wait, no. I need to snap out of this. If I start doubting Paris Hilton, "America's Sweetheart", then what is there left to depend on in this crazy, mixed-up world? I'm sorry Paris. It was a moment of weakness. Please forgive me.
