...Or rather continues but this time it's going to be in a written form so that I can remember stuff & share it with a wider audience. My ramblings on this blog will hopefully be able to inform people of the types of music I enjoy (& don't enjoy) & allow them to perhaps find new things that they can take on their musical journey through life. I don't want to do this in a preachy way, so if it ever seems that way please shout very loudly or remove my earphones & tell me.
Music has been a huge part of my life to date & I love how it can shape your moods & feelings towards people, places, situations, etc. I love to have conversations with people about music & I find that people really open up when they start explaining what music they like & why it is that the like it. You can tell a lot about someone from their musical choices. A guy who gives the impression he's one of the boys who goes home after work & relaxes to some Chopin or the Bridget Jones' Diary soundtrack, or a shy girl who likes nothing better than some hardcore dance music or some Lamb of God. People's guilty pleasure songs/artists can be SO eye-opening too. There's a guy in work who chose Hanson's MMMBop as one of his guilty pleasure songs & he pretty much only listens to Hip Hop or R&B. That came way out of left field that one.
One of the biggest buzzes, for me at least, is when someone introduces you to some new music, whether it be artist, genre, instrument, or something else entirely. Even if you don't like it once you've listened to it, you've learnt something & your eyes, & ears, have been opened to something you might never otherwise have come across.
I hope you will enjoy my blog & please, please, please feel free to chip in & send recommendations, gig ideas, etc through.
Enjoy.
