I'm back. For a variety of reasons I haven't written for a while. Such is life. Along with the music making.
A song you know all the words to...
Cry me a river
I like this song very much. And I sing it a lot. And the whole crying rivers thing seems appropriate sometimes. And I'll shut up now.
Actually I won't, I'll talk about jazz a bit. Jazz music is really really cool. If you think about it, blues is the same stuff as heavy metal. A really depressed singer, a heavy bass line, piano, guitar... And both a bit anti-mainstream.
As I was watching Eurovision this year I realised how much most pop music bores me. The occasional good song comes up, but most of it is just cheesy, self obsessed, regurgitated crap. I listened to the 'most popular' playlist on grooveshark and it depressed me so much. People don't seem to from there own opinions on music, they just listen to what's expected of them. So I try my hardest not to. That's why I listen to Taylor Swift and Rise Against and Billie Holiday and Metallica. It doesn't even matter if people don't know. Listen to someone else's music and you'll find understand some of what they're feeling.
Over and out.
