Hanging out with the people I do makes me question some things.
Is Xry the male equivalent to Wunderland?
Am I in any way qualified to write a blog?
Do I really know anything about music? or is this just the ramblings of a fan?
Do I have enough background in music? When I mentioned I liked AOD but their songs were a bit long, my friend said 'yeah must have been listening to the last Mahavishnu Orchestra albums too much'. but I was like, I don't know who that is. looked them up and was like...oh yeah.
I wonder if the only reason the three people that read my blog only read it because I'm semi-cute. maybe silly boys think my smile has charm.
Then I kind of want to be like Brooklyn Vegan and talk about Japanther and Andrew Jackson Jihad. They're not local but they played with local bands. i think.
Seeing both of them made me happy a bunch of nice guys that can appreciate hip hop and make great music.
Oh and Japanther's obvious Rasta influence with quotes from Haile Selassie I famous speech to the UN about Africa, their telephone microphones, what a bunch of cuties (that's a professional term). Alex is living the dream being a vegetarian, Jewish, Rastafarian touring with a band. a cool band.
When I heard the quotes from Selassie's speech I was drawn in, I felt more people were drawn to the music after that song. It was like, wait I know this. Then when I spoke with the members of the band later, and Alex told me he had Rasta influences I was at first like cool me too. Forgetting about that song, until this morning when I was like OH OBVIOUSLY!!!
but $15 shirts? Who has $15 dollars for a shirt, I don't even have $15 for groceries!
Anyway I wonder a lot thanks to my friends, they name drop local bands I haven't heard or heard of. or dislike bands that I think are pretty good.
Do I only say certain bands are good because I'm friends with some of them?
