  Today, I've been listening to as much music as I possibly can. I've had headphones on for almost 13 hours straight, including at lunch (I was by myself). I'm trying to recapture the love for music. I've discoverd that I spend so much time creating music that I don't take a lot of time to enjoy the music of others. It dawned on me that I was a little out of touch with current rock and pop music when my intern showed me a few cd's that he had recently bought, and I did not recognize any of the names or bands.
Do you ever feel this way? When I got bored with what I was listening to or playing, I would just write something new or try to recreate my playing style. I think one of the best ways to break out of a creative rut it stop trying to create and enjoy what other's creativity has already produced. I'll keep you updated.
