Hi,
My name is Weasel, and I love music.
I listen to music on the bus. I listen to music at work. I listen to music when I'm writing, when I'm sad, happy, when I don't know what to feel. Sometimes I listen to music when I sleep.
I even listen to music on the shitter.
You gotta do something, right?
This is going to be observations of my own on the music that I love. It's a pretty damn broad range, but it does have its limits:
This blog will mainly deal with modern music. I might talk about classical composers once or twice, but that ain't too much my thing. For the most part I'll be talking about stuff produced in the last 50 years.
Other than a few exceptions this will be POP-FREE. I just got next to no interest in that shit.
You might also see a few genres that get under-represented here. Country and Dance spring to mind as items I will rarely talk about.
Other than that however, it's pretty much a go. I might be talking about a certain style, an artist, and album, maybe even just a song or a concept.
It'll be what I wanna do, cause this is my goddamn game show.
Finally there's the title. Observations in 5/8 time. Christ I hope that's a good title, cause I don't think I can easily change it. But I think it works. What I like most about music is what is different. Not what everyone else listens to, but what I can pull out of something that touches me. And maybe, just maybe I can find new things that'll touch you too. Touch you in the bathing suit area. But, you know, in a good way. No bad touch.
At any rate 5/8 is a goofy resgister and so is my taste. Plus 5 and 8 are consequetive Fibonacci numbers and broad mathmatical concepts give me a boner. One of these days I want to bang some chick that works with imaginary numbers and logarithms all day.
But perhaps that's for another blog......yeah, probably is. At any rate, here we are.
Enjoy.
Snoogins,
Weasel
