and why our society should too. OK, to be fair, i really don’t love this girl. I do however think she can sing and thinks shes sincere,
The only reason i am writing this is because Taylor Swift has reached the same status level as Creed, Nickelback, etc. Sellout, fake, whatever you want to call it. Whats with all the hate? I can remember when she had first come out and songs like
“Tim Mcgraw” drew fans from every genre. Swift crossed the lines of country and pop and seemed to be an attractive piece of modern music. Then slowly the hate crept up. Song after song, now those same fans who were screaming her songs are making fun of her, ripping her music, her singing talent, and most important her personality. Well GEE GOLLY WIZ, a southern girl who sings upbeat, happy, meaningful songs, that is the worst thing that could strike the music world! If you can’t catch the sarcasm, stop reading. Read more »
Walking down a dirt road, kicking rocks, its hot. So hot that its hazy, 100 degrees hot. The heat rising from the blacktop, the shoulder dust blowing whenever the wind picks up. Where am I going? The question is where have I been? I’m at the city limits of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
I want to play my guitar. I’m good, I think? The tent i brought with me i picked up at a local army depot, said it was leftover from the forgotten war. I was too young to join. The building isn’t what i expected it to be. I’ve heard stories of this place, i just assumed it was bigger. They say Florence,AL is the birthplace of the blues. I’ve been known for strumming together a few good licks.
The town is kind of a run down little thing. I seen a hotel but i think I’m going to sleep outside under the stars. I don’t want to miss who’s coming and going. The people in the bible belt don’t take kindly to me though.Hippie was the nicest thing I’ve been called since hanging outside this studio.Hall has told me to leave a few times. I keep hearing music playing inside. This guitar needs new strings, I’ve been playing constantly for the entire week I’ve been here. Pickett has offered me strings, i couldn’t just take them. Instead we bartered a bit. I told him i would teach him “Hey Jude.” I didn’t see it as a fair trade, but he seemed kin on the idea.

So I’ve been doing a little dabbling in some genre’s of music I’m not exactly familiar with. A few bands that topped the list of best albums of 2009 (not my choices) were:
Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Animal Collective:Merriweather Post Pavilion
Grizzly Bear: Veckatimest Read more »
I dont usually write about music. The reason?I feel most people have a terrible taste in it and mine is better than theirs (irony). Everyone always wants to argue why their taste in music is better than somebody else’s. I don’t want you to try to reason why Akon is better than (insert R&B singer). I dont care that Dragonforce can play 13,000 notes a minute. Often the discussion turns to the quality of the voice, the instrument they play, the production. None of these things matter in the end. All that matters is what comes out of the speaker when you hear it. Read more »
