Octopus' Garden

I'm going to discontinue this blog. It is time for me to move on. I've been realizing lately that I have moved beyond the Beatles. This is not to say that they have not had an inestimable influence on me and the kind of music I listen to. They were the door that opened me to different music than I'd ever listened to...music beyond contemporary Christian (most of which I now dislike, except for maybe Jars of Clay and Third Day). For a while, the Beatles were all I listened to. But I've now become enamored with a lot more...R.E.M. (which I've been listening to a lot lately), Ben Folds, the Doors, Coldplay, Green Day, Joni Mitchell, Gorillaz, Josh Groban, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. Eclectic tastes. Warm sounds with lots of nice guitar.

There are many Beatles songs that I will always love...

I will start a new blog, one I'll update only occasionally to reflect on specific subjects (probably in terms of music), not just ramble on about what I've been doing lately. (Because my life is pretty boring.)

Thanks for those of you who have read and commented on this. I'll post once more to let you know where my new blog is. It will not be on Myspace or Xanga.
