"Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio." Hunter S Thompson
Music is my life, I figure that I spend around 23 hours a day listening to music. How is this possible? Well I listen to music when I sleep, drive, walk, read, study, and look at porn...which accounts for about 23hrs of my day, the majority of time either sleeping or looking at porn, both account for about 10 hrs of my day! I hate (could it be on the list?) people who say that they love all kinds of music, why? Because it is not possible, they might enjoy several kinds of music, a lot of different artists, but it is not possible to enjoy absolutely everything....its just not!
So I don't want to say I like every kind of music, because I don't, actually I have a very small amount of music that I enjoy, but it some how encompasses a wide range of good shit. Obviously, you may not enjoy the music that I enjoy, I can guarantee though that I don't like all, if any, of the music that you listen to. The only true way to understand the music I enjoy is to listen to my collection, and spend a day with me listening to music (it could get awkward, especially during the porn).
In addition, people need to listen to an album in its entirety, if they are at all interested in the artist, and listen to the album not just once but at least 3 times. Music, especially good music, often grows on the listener over time. If you like one song on iTunes or the radio (haha), don't assume that the album is good because usually one song gives a horrible impression. Finally, don't listen to other peoples opinions/reviews, form your own. I recommend reading reviews but only to get a general idea of the music, don't let the opinion/review formulate a pre-understanding of the album, check it out for yourself! (Check out pitchfork media for some solid reviews, also read the itunes reviews, but never and I mean NEVER take them seriously).
After all of that, I wanna post some of the more inspiring/up-lifting/mind blowing music that I am listening to, take it for what it is, but it might lead you on a path that could really rescue you from T-pain and the Fray...music that isn't for everyone or anyone, because it is truly SHITTY!
Also, keep supporting good artists...they actually deserve some respect.
So here's not only a damn good song, but a fuckin' crazy video...drop your acid, get drunk, or stay sober, I assume that if you're looking at this blog you are already in an altered state of mind though (and probably have already seen this video)...no matter, this video is pretty mind blowing (it is of a sensitive nature).
