After a long in-depth analysis (also known as my mind wandering while I'm supposed to be doing hardcore work), I've decided that one of the main things that attracts me to pop/rock/folk/whatever music is the use of non-standard instruments*. For instance, on the new Tori Amos album there's a track with a really awesome tuba line, and it completely grabbed my attention away from the report I was trying to write.

And now I'm listening to an old Marc Berube CD, which I am loving, and I think it's because of the spectacular use of clarinet and accordion.

So if anyone ever wants to target a song to me, throw in some trombone and we'll be golden.

*Except saxophone. Which I really don't like.

I don't think the saxophone really qualifies as non-standard in rock/pop anyway, you know? Despite the -ophone suffix, which usually indicates hilarious good times.

Ha ha, I hear you, I swear one reason I fell in love with Phil Ochs's music was he had this weird phase where he was using glockenspiels and whatever. BECAUSE WHO USES THOSE, EVEN BACK IN THE '70S WHEN HE RECORDED THOSE SONGS?
