What is rock supposed to sound like? Last time I checked, rock’s got a thousand subgenres, all with varying similarities/dissimilarities between them.

There’s Hard Rock, Punk Rock, Rock ‘N’ Roll, Soft Rock, Pop Rock, Country Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative… Rock is a bit of an umbrella term.

Yeah. Genesis and Stone Temple Pilots are both rock, but they have nothing in common stylistically. Neither do Tori Amos and Paul Stanley.

I think Queen is soft rock.

I spent 45 minutes shovelling the driveway this morning, and now it’s snowing again, with snow forecasted for four different days next week. Gotta love Canada.

It was almost 80°F here.

It was almost 80% here.

So…like 77% snow?

Probably because some of their songs aren’t rock.

Starting tomorrow, I’m going to begin going for long walks, just like I used to years ago. I need to begin exercising regularly again, but using the exercise bike is boring and the treadmill works like shit. Since I have no other exercise equipment, walking it is.

Good on you Duracell, walking is a great way to get out, get some exercise, and focus your thoughts. I’ve been considering doing this recently too for stress relief as well as exercise.
