In the land of Lotus eaters, time plays tricks on you. One day you are dreaming. The next day has become your reality. It was the best of times. If only someone had told me. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned. My family goes on without me,while i drown in the sea of pointless pussy. I don't know how i got here but here i am--
rotting away in a warm Southern sun. One thing I've learned in my travels through time:
A morning of awkwardness is better than a night of loneliness.

UNSTRUSTABLE
"Alright,so at the end of the day if you could do anything else,telemarketing,pharmaceutical sales, ditch digging,major league umpire... I would suggest that you do that because being a writer blows. It's like having homework everyday for the rest of your life."~
Well I have this crazy idea that i can write for a music magazine or something like that . It will not take too long to refine my writing skills and English. I love music and fortunately i cannot stop exploring new genres and bands. I also figure i will save myself some money and get paid on my way to a concert and report from the balcony.
I read music magazines constantly and hate when reviewers instead of trying to explain or describe some band to you they go out of their league and start judging creativity or lack of it. Most of these writers do not have much more music education than the average listener. They just happen to have writing skills and an under the influence undergraduate degree.
Yes, there are so many untalented bands signed out there and people deserve to know about it but i don't agree on trashing a band in a review. The review sole purpose is to inform and create and idea of what are you going to get not to diminished even untalented musicians.
I don't know if i can make a living out of this . Times are changing fast. Nobody reads newspapers or magazines anymore. Everybody is blogging. Everyone is texting. No one talks anymore.No punctuation. No grammar. A whole new language out there. LOL this . WTF that! Once again instead of evolving we are skipping and pseudo-communicating. I'm part of the problem .I'm out there blogging and loathing in disturbing thoughts.
I will consider myself lucky if i can inform and describe my readers about a band or album using all the knowledge learn trough the years in this crazy little thing called life. Let's take the best band in the world that nobody knows,LUNA. I will describe their sounds like The Velvet Underground meets Neil Young with an out of the ordinary songwriting skills that tells dark stories no one else will. Most of the people reading this and able to dress themselves will have an idea of what iam trying to describe.
I believe your job becomes harder when you have to do a review on a band you don't like already. A genre you personally find disgusting or even when you have to do a review on a band you idolized . I hope i never create more expectations in my head than the fans that expect a better or at least same follow up product of an existing band.
You cannot agree with everyone that's for sure . I think Luna's best is PUP TENT not PENTHOUSE and we can go on forever on that particular matter.
I've learned not to trust critics of any kind and music writers. We often disagree. Now that alone will make these very challenging and exciting and I will become untrustable.
