Rambling…

So, you have reached the actual blog. Congratulations! Now the real test is whether you understand what I am saying or not. I am going to first just start off with my musical preferences and background. I personally enjoy listening to and playing all types of music but out of all of the genres out there, here are the ones that I seem to be drawn back to time and time again:

1.Folk- I love how much meaning the writers, notice I say writers and not “song writers”, put into these songs and also the soothing properties that the melodies have. Note that by Folk I am talking about artists such as Iron & Wine not some drunk guy playing a song about whiskey for ten minutes straight. I also wish that I had more opportunities to know more folk artists and you being the reader may be able to   provide such opportunities.

2.Alternative & Punk- This DOES NOT mean just simply punk, although I do enjoy some punk, this means an artist that has a wide range of genres in their grasp. Some examples include Snow Patrol, Radiohead, and the list goes on virtually forever. I do like their usual simplicity, not applied to Radiohead, but their lyrics are usually blunt and not very meaningful.

3.Psychedelic- Okay, okay, I know that you are going to say that I am a hippy but you can’t deny that some of the best artists of all time are psychedelic in one way or another including Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. But I mostly like their funky tunes and the way that they’re so damn appealing.

and that is the majority of what I listen to/play in order from most to least. So YOU as a reader must inform me of other bands in these genres but also recognize that I like many other genres and if you find something cool then send it my way and I’ll review it, just because Rap isn’t my style doesn’t mean something good won’t blow that perspective out of the water, I’m always up for something new so just go ahead and lay it on me. Another thing that is true of my blog but also in life in general is that if I don’t like it doesn’t mean its bad, it just means I have a restricted taste and you are obviously more cultured than me.
