So, someday there will be a reckoning, by which I mean that I'm going to completely overhaul the design of this site, including the links in the sidebar. In the meantime, I feel like noting that this new blog I'm following, Burned By The Sun, is pretty awesome, as it's someone with my musical tastes who knows an awful lot more about music than I do. She's been ferociously covering any and all Coachella rumors, which makes me happy - also, she recommended WOXY out of Cincinnati, which has made me happy eighteen times in the past twelve minutes. I mean, they played "Queer" by Garbage. And man, do I miss old-school Garbage.

I've been in a rut when it comes to listening to music. Usually, I find a new artist or two every few months who I can dig -- but not so much, right now. Maybe it's because I don't know what I'm looking for. Or maybe it's because I'm waiting for the next big thing to sweep me away, like Alanis Morrisette did in 1995 (hey, it was high school), and Moby did in 1999.

I'm overdue for a musical revelation. But with the state of music today being what it is, is such a thing likely?

OH GOD. WOXY is now playing Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain."

Heaven.
