Rose mentioned to me the other day that she was still listening to The Airborne Toxic Event song that Jeremy had posted<\/a> about last fall. I vaguely remembered it. There’s a link to a video of the song in the post.<\/p>\n

I don’t like music videos, even of tunes I like, so I didn’t watch it. Also, the emotional overhead was too much.<\/p>\n

But Rose’s comment started me thinking about music that Zach liked. He had a stack of home-brew CDs in his car which I inherited. I remembered them. I had gone through them while we were driving from Baton Rouge to Jeremy’s house during what would be his last summer. Most of them didn’t interest me. In fact, I had a hard time picking out anything I wanted to listen to. Zach was cool, though. He didn’t press anything on me or complain when I found a mash up of Eagles songs to put on the player<\/p>\n

I went through them a year ago. I kept a couple. Some were mixes I copied onto my hard drive. A couple were mixes with people’s names on them so I sent them back. The bulk of them I sent on to Jeremy. I did copy some of them and they come up every once in a while on my random playlist.<\/p>\n

It’s funny, despite having many thousands of tunes on my hard drive, it’s rare that one comes up that I don’t recognize. When I check, it most often is from that group of Zach’s CDs. Even though the music usually doesn’t move me, it’s a good feeling to have a little connection with Zach through his music.<\/p>\n

I bought the Airborne Toxic album with that tune on it this morning. I think I’ll listen to it now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
