Junkie
I’m a musically addictive person. I hear a new song that I like, or maybe rediscover a song that I’ve known for a while and I listen to it over and over and over and over.
And over. For instance, a few weeks ago, I got The Killers’ album, “Sam’s Town” and was subsequently addicted to “Why Do I Keep Counting?” Shortly after I heard it, I was in Escapé doing some work, and I listened to it over 15 times in a row.
This kind of thing happens all the time. As I documented a few months ago with “Cherry Blossom Color Season,” I listened to it over twenty times in one day.
Sometimes it’s more subtle, though no less severe. In these cases, I won’t necessarily listen to a song several times in a row, but I’ll somehow get it in my internal rotation, and I’ll listen to it at least a few times every day for weeks. Fortunately, this rarely causes me to get sick of a song as it would most normal people.
Ha ha. Normal.
I do the same thing. Maybe it’s because we’re twins…
I do the same thing man. I remember the first time I heard “Princes of the Universe” by Queen. I was working up in Oklahoma with my bro at the time.
I looped that song every day for almost a week.

Hey, I do exactly the same thing too. Except it’s usually more than twenty times a day.
