This morning, I BLASTED the new album from Karen Clark Sheard and Ted Winn’s Balance CD.  Such great projects!  And I was about to go to Kierra’s This Is Me project (an all-time fave), until I realized that I actually didn’t feel like hearing gospel music at that moment.

We’re being real, right?  A big part of my job focuses on listening to, and making commentary on, gospel music.  And I love it.  But uhh… I take breaks.  Often.

It’s not that I don’t wanna hear about God or anything.  I just don’t want to hear the music sometimes– the progressions, the syntax.  Want to experience Him a bit more… implicitly.

Now, I know some of you still are not “allowed” to listen to anything else, but for those of you who have a varied music collection and don’t cover your ears to avoid the radio when you go shopping (hehehehee), do you ever have those moments?

Today, I listened to Radiohead and Maroon 5.  And, other times, I find myself jammin’ to Brandy, Luther Vandross, Faith Evans or Anita Baker.

Just curious– in those moments, who do you listen to?
