I'm just going to use this thing to jot down random thoughts rather than make long pretentious arguments like the previous entries. So here you go:
There is good music out there today. These assholes hung up on the thought that the only good music ever created was in the 60's & 70's are just too lazy to put a little effort into finding good music. I love putting the effort in because the payoff is amazing- you get to hear music you genuinely love, and the bands actually appreciate your interest. I guess there are people who'd rather spend their lives watching youtube videos of bands that broke up before their parents hit puberty. Just sayin'.
I saw Against Me! last night at the Crazy Donkey. Yeah I guess I do love AM! that much to leave Queens and go to Long Island, believe me that's dedication hahaha. They've been getting a lot of shit for their last few records, but my ears just love anything they do. He said about 2 sentences the whole set. No bullshit, just songs. Admirable.
The heat is starting to blaze here in NYC. Nothing is more uncomfortable than a hot subway car, which gets better when you're greeted by scorching blacktop upon exit from the station. Maybe I'll take my new guitar to Central Park with Kylie sometime soon.
