Don’t Catholics have to give up something for Lent? Isn’t this holiday redundant? It sounds like the idea is to better appreciate music by giving it up (it’s right before Saint Cecilia’s birthday, the patron saint of music). However, there is already an existing holiday on Saint Cecilia’s birthday.
I didn’t observe it as I didn’t know it existed until today and I’m not Catholic.

What the hey…? That’s just crazy talk. My husband’s uncle’s funeral was last Tuesday and if we didn’t have music to get us through the day, it would have been even worse. On the mix CD that day: Magnetic Fields, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Regina Spektor (my 4-year-old loves her) and Radiohead, among others…

I didn’t even know it was ‘No Music Day.’ I’ve had my iTunes on shuffle nearly all day, LOL! A sampling:
“Younger Than Today” – Ben Harper
“Your House” – Alanis Morissette
“Alone Apart” – Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
“Bouncing Off Clouds” – Tori Amos
“Game For Fools” – Jamie Lidell
“So Small” – Carrie Underwood
“Nan You’re a Window Shopper” – Lily Allen
“Say Goodnight” – Jump, Little Children
And apparently the shuffle demanded I hear several Josh Groban songs in a row. I did not resist.

Eh…I gotta disagree on “Finding Forever.” I found it perfectly average. It mostly makes me want to listen to “Be” instead. Mostly.
