New favourite song: The Gravedigger's Song by Mark Lanegan

This week I am mostly listening to this on repeat.

On the eve of my birthday, it strikes me that the past ten years have seen a sea change in my music tastes.  Ten years ago I was still swept up in music made by men who (mostly) looked like women.

Then, two things happened.  One, I discovered Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.  Two, at the age of 19 I attended the Reading Festival, saw Metallica for the first time, and fell in love with James Hetfield.

Oh, I still love music made by men who look like women.  But now I have a lot of space for music made by grizzly, growly, older men.

No comment on whether this influenced my choice of husband.
