Thanks for the kind words. Glad to know that I'm not the only one who thought about music videos like that, hah. Occasionally, if I was just bored and listening to music in the house, I'd try and create ideas for videos, but they usually just involved me dancing around like a fool. My idea for Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Springs" was me walking around my house in a flowing skirt with the fan on. Yeah, I was a big winner. I saw a couple cabbies pull up to the fruit stand after I wrote the post, and one of them took fruit, but I couldn’t tell whether or not he went inside to pay… Aww, shucks. Thanks for the kind words.

I did the same thing you did - imagining videos being made from the experiences I was having - except a lot of them were done while I was on a jetski or surfing or something. I never really thought about the fact that watching videos of other people doing activities like those are usually pretty boring. Anyway, great post. :) I've come here a few times randomly, but I've added you to my RSS feed list now, and I'll be visiting much more often. Also, sorta related to what you wrote - we have a 24-hour fruit/veggie stand out here in Astoria called Top Tomato. I think the only reason for it being open 'round the clock is because it'd be too much work to bring all the produce inside. I'm not sure if anybody's going hunting for a turnip at 4:45 AM.

She’s got it all down: The small details, the personal element, the terrific flow. You might not like the music (or hell, even the post), but to me, it sums up what music blogging is supposed to be. I’m not going anywhere, I’m just trying to readjust my aim — move it a few degrees higher. [...] [...] Posts like this one, from Taylor at T-Sides, are what I’m talking about.
