there's only so much time in the day, so why not just do the things that make you happy....

But something about total musical hedonism...I dunno.

Do I hold some vague judeo-christian ideas?
Am I the lone hold out against 'bowling alone'?
Protestant work ethic? Catholic Good works?

Maybe i'm really bringing a lot of my own personal baggage and experiences to the conversation I know people like this in my real life, and their divorce from what the rest of American culture is doing shows up in things non-musical and they are often unable to connect/empathize with folks that don't share their specific proclivities...leading to a pretty insular life. This may or may not be the case with everyone here bigging up the "ipod lifestyle", not passing any judgment.

But even if I don't listen to Foster and his Imaginary Friends*, I've still heard Pumped Up Kicks. I'm not the biggest country fan, but I know that Sugarland isn't just a place outside of Houston.
