Hey all.
i know, i know, its been a few days. i havent had much to write about until now. sorry for making you wait..lol
recently, i had a revelation. i know, ive said it a few times before, to alot of my friends, but it hit kinda hard the other night....People Learn to appiciate older music, the older they get. Seriously. its the strangest thing to me.
i work at one of those $5 dollar footlong places...you know the ones.., and our radio station is almost always on the classic rock, or light listening station. when i come to work, i almost always change the station to classic rock, being that im a rock fan. im a lover of all things musical. i love rock, hard rock, rap, classical, some jazz, and plenty of other genres. when im at home, i usually listen to groups like Adelita's Way, Default, Saliva, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, and various other ppl, depending on my mood. When i was a kid, my mom cleaned house to 60's pop music. at the time, i didnt really like the older stuff. i was interested in the new music always comming out.
but, here recently, ive found my self constantly finding a new found appriciation for the older music i been listening to at work on the radio. granted, i still listen to my current bands and freshly released music, but the older, classic rock suddenly keep expanding a place in my heart. seems lately, that its not a good day until i hear Aerosmith, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the like. Even the soft rock station has a soft spot in my heart too. Fleetwood Mac, and even some (NOT ALL, mind you..) ABBA. yes, i said it...ABBA. what the hell is wrong with me???
more and more the new music scene, to me, all sounds alike. its starting to become rare that i find a new group i like. only one ive found lately that i like alot, is Fitz and the Tantrums, and thats because they carry a pop/soul sound really not heard since the 60's, and they mix it with a little upbeat sound. very nice. first new group ive listened to in along time. but then again, due to the current sound, ive been listening to alot more classic stuff too. see a pattern here? give me the original sounds i love, not some half produced, similar sounding, cookie cutter sound that people are starting to look past, while searching for that "new music" sound. i can name a huge handful of groups out now, that, to me, sound like someone shit in a tuba, and tried to market it as "good music". bitch, please...!
so there it is. and seriously, i cant believe i mentioned ABBA. damn....i am getting fucking old!
until next time, chaps and chicks! i madly love you all...
and dont hesitate to have me try some new music.....lol
mad love! -Hobbit
