Who knows where my taste in music comes from. I find myself being continually bored with my current playlist. Too often I find myself picking 30 random songs, falling in love with them all over again, and dumping them off the face of the earth by the next day. A.D.D.? Yes. Selfish? Yes. Annoying? Yes. Will I ever stop doing it? Nope.
Of course here I am spending my only day off for the week searching through iTunes looking for songs I have never heard of. I love every song I download, for a little while.
I wish I had the taste in music of Gangsta. Anything with a beat, 'thug life' lyrics, and something you can annoy the hell out of your mother with. circa We Fly High - Jim Jones, possibly related to the infamous mother harraser Mike Jones.
Mom's taste consists of: Something you can listen to while vacuuming (yes, lets not forget having your headphones upsidedown, looking like some sort of alien maintaining a singing volume anyone could hear over the vacuum which she has no idea), songs she can claim are "about Jesus" - yes, my mom thinks Leona Lewis is now writing religious songs - and of couse songs that can be blasted through the kitchen allowing your's truly to do some sort of hideous dance to.
I am now getting into some sort of hippie phase when it comes to music. Indie and electronic music is so interesting to me. Embarrasing, I know, but I guess I am just tired of finding the same old band which everyone is trying to tell me "Have you heard these guys? They are this 'new' band I found" when I have had their album for over a year. I want a playlist noone else has, I can just listen to myself and share with those I love. again. selfish? yes. If this suprises you, you clearly don't know me well.
So, blog world (whomever you are) I reaching out and naming some of my current favorites:
Kids - MGMT - I wish everyone would stop trying to act as if they are unique and liking this song to be cultured and trendy. I found it before all of you freaks. (don't get me started on Slumdog Millionaire) In fact, there are some better tracks on their album if you give it an honest chance. This is just a good song to get you into the feel of the band. Take that, posers.
Bullets - Tunng - Yes, the beginning sounds like a haunted house, keep listening...it's worth it.
Is There a Ghost - Band of Horses - Just listen to it.
Inside Your Head - Eberg - If you give this song a chance it will be your new favorite. Don't you dare try to act like you were the one that discovered it. I will hunt you down.
Slide Show - T.I. feat John Legend - Cut me some slack, I don't care who you are...T.I. is an amazing artist as is John Legend.
Wow. So this is it. My first 'blog.' Don't expect this to be some amazing feat in my life, I'm really not as exciting or interesting as people hope I am. Just a boring bachelor with nothing else to do with my life, except work and go to a glorified high school that is...holla.

So why haven't you bought any of these songs on my giftcard so I can blast them through my upside down headphones while I vacuum? You're holding out on me!
