(no subject)
Ok, so to be quite honest, over the last like four years, (hell maybe even more...) I have been enjoying the preferred music of choice, but just not researching it whatsoever. So, I get this bout of energy, and interest to look up as many articles, quotes, and facts about Damon Albarn as possible.
First let me explain this. I have always been the type of person, ever since I mentally developed at least, to just enjoy the music. Listening to it has always been good enough for me. Being a fan, or even the biggest fan does not mean that one must possess the best fucking trivial knowledge of their preferred band. Instead, be able to relate to the MUSIC in such a way that nothing else really matters. Cos that is what is all about after all, the music...right? Well, fuck off if you don't agree. lol.
Now, I'll continue...I am reading this article somewhere, I was so completely tired at the time, I just cannot even remember where it came from. I think I know, but I will not post a link, not until I know for sure, of course. I have spent most of my life thinking a little low of blur, just for the fact that they classify themselves as, "art pop." Art, yeah that is all good and fine, and I can totally understand how they can claim it, but pop? What the hell? When I think pop I think...Backstreet boys, and all that shite. Not blur. NO not ever blur.
But, they brought a little light to me that cold, cold night, not all that long ago. The source proclaimed that in Britain, rock is a dirty word, while over here in hell...er USA, pop is the word that is dirty. Mostly because of statements just like mine above. Though, when reviewing a band how many times has one seen that statement being, "Rock is a dirty word..." attatched to the name of said band. Numerous I am sure. This just leads me to believe that everyone is biased to a certain extent, which really goes without being said. Still, I think that pop is shite, but at least I now understand what it is to Britain. Therefore, I can totally agree with damon's statements, much alike, "I am going to prove once and for all that pop is not dead." Well, now he finally has my vote... not just my admiration.
