Another night at the bar...
Drank 4 Fosters, played some pool, Talked to Rhian and wore her hat for a good tn minutes. She transferred her hat hair to me, which was pretty entertaining. ON a whim I decided to dye my hair a new color!
black...
again.
I got the semi=permanent so it would blend in by the time I go to drill on August 10. I will just have to wash it three times a day to get it to that point. Anyways!
I have an audition for a band on Thursday to play the synth and Harmonica. Tomorrow, on my day off, I have to learn one of the main songs, and try to come up with stuff to play along with on the other one's. This band has a really classic rock n' roll type of sound, which I will throw into absolute chaos with my ElectroPop, Industrial noise. Hopefully I can bring forth a type of Classic Rock 2.0 era to music, and win one for the mainstream rock team against the foes relying on so-called "Hip-Hop" which is a phase of the rap genre that is worse than the nu-rock era of the rock ages.
A word or two on Hip Hop.:
Yes, you're shit is fucking catchy! I have sung the chorus to "Party Like A RockStar" forty bajillion times already. As a matter of fact, it is still in my head from work. Which was four hours ago. The thing is, your music is shit but it gets the job done: it sells. It is the simplest and most base crap out there and I will tell you why. I will use references pertaining to songwriting in general:
1.) If the basic riff of your "song" has three notes to it, and it goes from a certain note at a certain octave, then moves up to the same note, but in an octace higher, and then to a sharp of the lastly used note.
2.) If within your lyrics you mention the word "Club". A little side note: If you are going to say the word, just say it. "Cloooob" is the one thing in Hip-Hop that your music revolves around. Drunk people in a dark place. Hearing this word in a song makes me want to do something violent.
3.) Lastly, put some sort of pseudo message in your songs. You guys are humans too, can we dig a little deeper? I don't want to think that you an only rap about material shit. Material things don't matter, but they do. So I understand, but I have higher expectations from this genre than what I hear at this point.
The thing is, I respect your music and I respect the lifestyle. You hip hops cats do your thing and pay your dues just like every other musician out there trying to make it big. I just wish you would be your own genre, instead of becoming a new classification I deem: HIP-POP.
Although, it is true in most sections of the music store, there is an aisle called pop/rock, which is lame.
If you want to look up a good artist out there who actually has a message (which isn't religious, and there will be another post on Jesus Music after this soon) look up a guy named Atmosphere. I see a future of intelligent, anti-basic hip hop breaking the mold of what gets played on the radio today in him.
Anyway, that is my rant, if you have read it, thanks. If you hate it, thanks, If you want to talk about how much you hate it, go ahead. But do NOT kill my buzz that I am rocking right now.
peace.
