Dammit. I'm listening to lots of Tori today and it just reminds me how I should have never stopped playing piano.

Its not like I haven't tried to learn again, too. I just don't have very good discipline. bah.

tthorn was right, the new songs: ohia track is sticky sweet.

Go hither.

que?

When I was seven years old I could read music and play piano. Nowadays I know jackshit. It's kinda depressing that I was much more talented when I was in short pants but I'm afraid my musical ability is lost to the ages.

So did something force you to stop or was it a concious decision? I was forced to take a hiatus from my drums thanks to school and apartment living. Now I have them back, and its wonderful. Its amazing how quick I got back into the swing of it.

Go Battles. from EP C

I think I just lost interest. Once I was big enough to ride a bike any distance there was no way I was sitting in the house playing hymns on an electric organ.

At Her Open Door

No idea what this has to do with the topic, but let me second the Battles rec - all three EPs rule (B EP, EP C, and Tras.) You like jazz and Tortoise? You'll probably like Battles.

my mom told me that one day i would regret not learning to play the piano. now i do... but i will never admit that to her. i played piano for about two years when i was younger, but i couldn't grasp reading music nor did i have the patience to learn.

i wish i was musically inclined.

Yeah, mine told me that quitting was going to be the biggest mistake of my life. I think she was right.

But I learned to play the guitar... poorly. That show'd her.
