the muse

Often times my brain is too tired to even produce a thought  so the medium I usually turn to is music. audio makes me wonder at times: is this mainstream or not? is it a distraction or escapism? to what extent does it define me? but certain songs at times are something else it can make me dance, sing along, as accompaniment, and inspire me to create.

The most common phrase i hear a lot is "I listen to everything" that kind of bores me, I do as well and it might as well be a response to everything "I'll eat everything", "i'll watch anything", "I read everything", "Ill wear anything" it doesn't sound entirely true to me, not everything has a grasp on you. continue the phrase or simply start by naming artists and concerts you recently went to. there will always be praise and criticism for the specific music choices you have but be proud to deliver your style. I Prefer Rock!!!

  My favorite song recording of 2013-14 would have to be "Hypocrite" by Cage The Elephant. the song rushed through my ears while i was on the bus headed to De Anza: the clouds and every bodies faces spoke and meant something as emotions spewed into my brain when this song played. it deserved to be played on my guitar once i got home because listening to it just wasn't sufficient. the drums in the back round rumble through this melodic voice that is accompanied by five guitar chords and contributed with a deranged trumpet.

I'm not really sure what is considered  "oldie" i assume its a song before or during the 70's I'm not too sure. But if so i would have to choose "Sweet Jane", poetry being sung by the most avant-garde band The Velvet Underground. the song is four simple chords intertwined by an extravagant solo which is Lou Reed's voice. once I got bored of the Beatles, Rolling stones etc. the velvet underground just satisfied and lead me to a different path of music.
