Clearing Up A Few Things

  • Regarding my new "Your music doesn't suck, it just sucks *for me*..." journal title. You know the music you love with all your heart, the music that lifts you up when you're at your lowest point, and that you can't imagine not existing?

    ...yeah, a good deal of people think that it sucks ass. And the same can be said about theirs, and pretty much every piece of material ever created. There's a reason why art is a subjective form, and if your skin isn't thick enough to deal with a dig now and again I suggest not discussing music in public.

    This is brought on by no one in particular - I simply heard it mentioned by a friend-of-a-friend on the commentary track of his band's latest DVD release (regarding both The Dead and They Might Be Giants, if you're wondering, also which I happen to agree with) and thought it worthy of expanding on.


  • Go out and buy The Mike Keneally Band's latest release, Guitar Therapy Live. You won't find a more challenging yet pop-infused release this side of The Dresden Dolls, and the full-length DVD included in the "Special Edition" CD/DVD set is mind-numbing. Forget what I said above - this is the greatest music ever made and everyone should own it. ;-)

I'd enjoy the company to watch it in 5.1. [info]troisbalances is getting a little sick of it twice a day. ;-)

Oh yeah - is it just me, or does 7% Grade make your car go faster? I found myself doing over .. ummm.. a high number :D I decided I will send Bryan any tickets I may get as it's his fault ;)

I've actually had a copy in the car for "road music" since it came out and love it as such. Ironic, as that's the "theme" of the album (oops, dated myself with that term ;) and focus of many of the songs.

...as for BB, I can hear him laughing heartily at the very notion. Of you sending them, not of him actually paying them.

re: BB - I'd expect no different, but I still think it would be amusing ;)

"Oh, this is music, I thought you were just listening to radio static!"
-The best compliment I have ever received.

This is Troy, add me back if you want to.
