Music at my fingers (at not all hackneyed-sounding like on my piano, unfortunately because I lack skills and practice experience)

I found it! I finally found a way to download free music.. heh. Okay, yeah, obviously I have issues since I can't seem to find an actual method in obtaining music. I just basically google and hope for the best. Now, though, I found a blog! And not just any blog, it's one that talks about music that I completely don't understand!

Yeah. I'm not originally a listener of indie music. But I do get sick of the same stupid tunes recycled on the radio or the same songs on my computer (from back when I was very naively devoted to Limewire). This blog, Musical Humanity, is opening my eyes. And no, I'm not just downloading everything they introduce for no reason, I listen to the sampler first. If there is no sampler, I let their cover album wow me, then I download. Well, copy and paste the URL into my browser, but yeah. You get the picture.

Back then

my mother would drive us, my brother and me, past a superstore. In the field beside the parking lot, a fair was set up every year or so in the summer. My brother and I always wanted to go there and play, and my mother would see that. She said once that she'd take us there one day. She promised and we were satisfied that one day we'd get to play there and ride the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel and have cotton candy. We were happy. Years went by and one of us would mention the promise once every year or two.

Finally, four years ago, we moved elsewhere and I haven't seen that fair since. I still remember that promise and I still remember how badly I wanted to go.
