the breath robbing lightning, was making diamonds of rain

music

What people may or may not know about me is that for me music is life. It is everything. Its what inspires and fascinates, challenges, and is really about the only thing that I won't eventually become bored with. Sometimes music is the only thing that really keeps me going. Sort of like the energizer bunny or those little dancing flowers.
So....do what you love right?
Performing can take a lot of starting scratch, which I am currently not blessed with. This of course is my own fault. Hopefully one day I can resolve this.
In the interim?
I've thought about broadcasting, but that wouldn't work either, because I know I would never get to play what I wanted, just the filth certain people call 'music'.
Call me a music snob. I don't care anymore. There is stuff out there that I simply refuse to respect people for listening to.
So....i'm pretty much left with writing. Putting my music snobbery to work and talking up the stuff I love, and kicking in the balls the music I cannot stand. Why not?
Because there are more people that do that now than I can even imagine. My voice would not be unique. I have a framed demotivator staring at me right now telling me 'never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few'.

Well....screw you despair.com, ima do it anyways!

Probably the best band I've heard out of Denton in quite awhile. If you hit up the website, go to their media section and listen to 'young bride', its my favorite song of theirs so far. Their latest venture 'The Trials of Van Occupanther' has turned quite a few heads and ears, and probably gave our fair city more attention, at least since Centro-Matic hit the scene, oh so many years ago. If you dig the haunted throw back indie sound with strings, definately give them a try.
