My ears are so much better at hearing things now. This may sound a little pretentious or something, but being in music classes and getting serious about music has helped me hear a lot more depth in music. Maybe this is also due to listening to things on better equipment and not just in my car stereo and actually paying attention to the music, but things are lots easier to hear now. Even on crappy iPod headphones. Which I actually happen to like, as far as earbuds go.
Also, Wilco is awesome. It's actually recorded and mixed super well. Especially Sky Blue Sky. I love that album. The guitars are so good sounding. They're all fuzzy and slightly faded, but so, so warm sounding. Also, they do some really interesting panning (panning is where the sound is mixed, as in right/left). A lot of the guitar melodies are panned hard left and contrasted with the vocal entrances in center and then drums and bass and organ flowing all around. I love the organ in Wilco. It's so good sounding.
Anyway, now that I've thoroughly bored you and put in a huge advertisement, I'll leave with some hate:
People with ambiguous facebook statuses (stati?): STOP IT. Are you really that starved for attention that you have to go to the internet and force other people to care? Stop posting things like ":(" just so people will ask you what's wrong. And if you're absolutely that desperate, at least have the courtesy to answer the poorly deceived commenters that do ask what's wrong. Here's a good rule of thumb: if you can't see the screen through your veil of tears while you're typing, STAY OFF MY INTERNET.
