I am what I am… thats popeye.

Hey there all, I wish to tell you this blog will be about anything specific, but the chance of that are about as high as the chances of anyone ever reading this. I’ll start off with music, as it is something close to my heart. I’d like to say that I have a specific taste in music but that would be a heinous lie. (Why heinous? I don’t know, but how else will the get “heinous” into a blog?) I’m not going to say the much cliched “I love every type of music” either, for I am not fond of rap, doo-wop and so on. My Itouch is varied, however, with pop, rock, metal, hard rock, R&B, ska, contemporary, prog rock, singer/songwriter, folk etc.

On the subject of folk, I’m now going to talk about the only folk I have on my Ipod, Andrew Bird. Wow. I mean this guy is just wow. I suggest him to all, for he is a joy to listen to. I have this thing with music, see, that I very rarely get into music very quickly, even if I know the artist already. There is only two artists/groups this isn’t true of: Andrew Bird and Muse (more on them later, I’m sure, especially with their new CD/DVD combo HAARP coming out). If I must comment on it, I found him by visting one of my favorite sites: Albinoblacksheep.com. Someone made a flash video with his song “Skin, Is” as the basis of the video. Loving the song I did some investigation, picking a random song that interested me. This happened to be called 11:11 (I liked the name) and soon loved that too. That was it, I found myself buying every little piece of music (of his) I could be my hands on. Still to this day, I am a big fan, especially with his new EP “Soldier On” coming out. This leads me to a rant about Itunes, but I won’t get into that.

I was in the shower and started coming up with a song, here is the chorus I came up with, probably I’ll try to come up with something more.

Why is the night sky exploding in fire in part of the world,
While the night is exploding with laughter in the rest of the world.
Why do you want me to hate the man next to me?
Why should I hate him because he prays differently?
It’s a work in progress, my apologies.

That’s all,
Adam.
