Oh my Blog, Blog, Oh my Blog. I sort of forgot I created this little pastime for myself, hence the no posts. Actually, that is a lie. I didn't forget. I keep thinking, I should blog but them I'm all...meh. I've just been majorly uninspired with music that's been in my ears the past couple of months, with a few exceptions of course (stay tuned). What gives, Bands? It's not like I haven't been trying either. Actually, that is a lie as well. Laziness and I have been getting a little too comfortable with each other. Finding new, good music is a process. Do you know how much shit I have to listen to to find one good song? A lot. A whole freakin' lot. In the end though, it's worth it for that amazing three to four minutes of a song that you know you'll suck the life out of 'cause you'll listen to it so much. Or am I the only one that does that? I'm not sure where I'm going with all this I'm just bored and my cat is sick of hearing me talk to him. Oh yeah, uninspired ... Even bands I have loved are letting me down. Kings of Leon. Exhibit A. I've been into this band since 2004ish, before Caleb even knew he was hott and before anyone knew that their sex was on fire. Their new single is just really not gettin' it up for me. What is this "Radioactive" bullcrap? Haven't heard it yet? If you have three minutes and thirty seconds to waste, here you go: Predictable. I'm fairly certain that KOL strictly follows this formula when writing songs now: upbeat guitar riff + Caleb belting out chorus = KISS 108 FM. It's just so typical of them nowadays. I'm sad about it because I truly had high hopes for them. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, good for them, they're successful and shit and I guess that's what most bands strive for but don't forget about the real rock songs! There's just no throw down in their songs anymore. I feel as though they are robotic in their writing process now. There are no more Trani's, Slow Night, So Long's, or Knocked Up's on their most recent release and I'm predicting that will be the case with their upcoming album, Come Around Sundown. I hope I'm wrong. Come back to me, Kings of Leon. Come back.
This has been such a debbie downer post. (waaaah waaaaahhh)
How's about some good, hard to come by songs? Ok! The following have been my only rays of sunshine from my speakers:
See, Kings of Leon? See what those people did there with their songs? Remember how you used to do that?
Slata.
