i wanna say yes...but not really. i had it all set the other night i was going to go on a big listening fest and all this stuff, but then i kept getting busy and distracted. so i'll be giving a better update soon.

i listened to something by most of the people you guys named and i liked the majority. i will say the sometimes some of it gets too cheesy for me...if that makes sense. which it probably doesn't, but sometimes i associate some of it with elevator or department store shopping music and that turns me off of it.


anyway people should keep giving suggestions, i am gonna listen to them.
