Just music.
Today is my first of two consecutive days off. Can I get an "amen?" Been a while for me, thats all... I'm really enjoying having access to the web... searching for new bands... fresh, unrelenting, beautifully brutal, sadistically romantic... just good stuff, at least I think so. Today I introduced myself to Everytime I Die, Beloved (us), and Twelve Tribes... Beloved(us) is my fave so far...great vocalist who sings like Maynard and sometimes screams like Max Cavalera...
I've noticed that if you tell people that you listen to hardcore and metal, then they attach a stigma..."oh, that guy's angry...", or, "oh yeah, the scary music." Scary? Angry? Maybe to you... I don't even have a long explanation of why I listen to what I do. Fuck you...its what I like. This music makes me say "damn, thats hot!" I gravitate towards anything with a rougher edge.. anything thats alive or intense. I could sit down and enjoy a couple tunes from Pink Floyd, or Grateful Dead, or Pearl Jam, or Black Eyed Peas, or whatever whatever...insert title of favorite artist here...and I would love it and appreciate it for what it is, perhaps getting a melody or lyric stuck in my head for days... but........ what I choose to come home to.. what makes me feel alive... what soothes my inner self.. the music that speaks to me is... well, I have no name for it.
