There's just too much variety

I go through phases in what music I listen to.

I used to really dig grunge and alternative.

Then I learned a lot about bands like Dave Matthews, RHCP, Rage Against the Machine, Alice in Chains.
They all have an underlying theme, and I've come to believe that it's uncertainty.

I don't listen to as much music as I did when I was single. Lol. I just had more time to myself, and I played guitar and drums more often then, too. 

In some ways I miss it. Music was how I defined myself for a long time, especially rock music.

And then I heard rap that I loved. Snoop Dogg's "The Chronic" turned me on to rad hip hop that I still listen to.
And Asher Roth. I personally like Ash even though everyone makes fun of him. I identify with a white guy that grew up in the 'burbs that happens to like spittin flows.

I love Das Racist. You ever heard of them?
They don't even make sense.

You should like them too. Or at least give them a chance. It's a lot more deep than the seemingly-nonsensical lyrics suggest.


I dig it like a miner digs clay.

Lately I've been into rap and some dubstep. Love me some dubstep. :) 

And I never would have thought I'd like dubstep if you asked me five years ago. 

Way too much to listen to. How can anyone be educated about all the music out there?

  6. If you like dubstep, you should listen to Reptile's Theme Song by Skrillex from the new Mortal Kombat game. It's soooo good, and I don't even really like dubstep.

  7. You can major in music to educate yourself about all the music that is out there =) That's what I'm doing, but that made all my favorite bands boring and popular music irrelevant.

  20. it's always hard for me to get into new music. For some reason I only listen to new music that was recommended by friends, maybe I'm too lazy to put in the effort

  21. I gave them a chance like you said, will have to listen to some of their other stuff before i can decide my opinion of them.

  22. RHCP's theme was socks on their cocks but still produced great music. It was funny how gimmicky they were before they made it big.

    ReplyDelete
  23. mostly i dont listen to new music...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm a huge RHCP fan - but I never thought I would be based on the first song I heard by them. Which just shows - it's impossible to keep up with all the music out there.

  25. Not very open to listening to new music however I might make an exception for this

    ReplyDelete
  26. You should try METAL. Because metal is always good. Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Iron Maiden, Helloween, so many awesome bands.

  27. DR has an interesting sound, may pursue listening to them a bit more. Dubstep on the other hand is also something I've only recently been getting into. Any recs?

    ReplyDelete
  28. The instrumental of that one song is good, so i will be checking the rest ones of them! :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. Recently, I've been digging on 8-bit remixes of some of my favorites: RHCP, Dream Theater, Outkast, etc. I'll be featuring NESsongsrus on my YouTube blog tomorrow: ytsubscriber.blogspot.com All of you music lovers should check it out.
    (sorry for the shameless self plug, I don't do it unless it's 100% relevant)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Listen all the crap that cross your way, that's the only decent way.
