insert concentration here
I am having the hardest time concentrating today. Grrr. wtf? I think last night totally fucked with me and I'm feeling the repercusions today. Radiohead is rocking my world right now. I know they get a lot of shit for being trendy or getting too much praise but fuck it, I really do enjoy listening to them every now and again. They are at least a different sound than every other bit of crap that is coming out of the radio nowadays.
I wake up every morning and turn on MTV just so I hear music to get me going and I always laugh that I wake up to either Avril, Ashlee or Lloyd. Same old shit. Same old bubblegum, cookie cutter, template-based trash every day and it makes me laugh every time.
I dated this one girl a few months back who was extremely rich and sheltered and suburban and every time she got in my car the radio was always turned to a pop station and the funny thing was, she knew every fucking lyric to every piece of shit rap/r&b song that played. And I wanted to kick her out of the car every time.
"What the fuck are you singing mang?" I yelled.
"Oh this song is my jam" she replied with a smile.
"You know that song sounded just like the last song right?" I retorted. "That is such shit. That isn't hiphop dude. It's garbage."
And she just laughed it off but it really bothered me. I can't stand people who don't know better. I understand if she enjoys it because it's better to like music than to not like it but grr, it got me so worked up. I'll be the first to admit, I try not to comment unless I really know what is out there with a certain genre of music. For example... I like Blink 182/Boxcar Racer. It's poppy but I like that dudes singing voice and the drummers musical ability. I also like The Offspring. Does that make me a punk afficionado? Fuck no. I simply just don't know what else is out there but I at least ask as many people as possible to suggest new groups for me to soak up so I am more well rounded.
But the thing was, this girl didn't even want to listen to my suggestions of hiphop/backpacker/turntableism music. And that was what pissed me off the most. She wasn't even open to groups that weren't created by rich music execs in suits. She turned away some of the most talented musicians just because they didn't get airplay.
*sigh
This blog got waaay bitter too fast.
I do have some killer bruises on my knuckles though. =) And when an office mate didn't want to get me a cup of coffee today I shouted out, "Look dude, I fight now, look at my knuckles. I'll fucking beat yer ass!" (jokingly of course) it gave me a smile.
My dog had a nightmare last night and crawled into bed with me. I love that furry little bastard.
