Unfortunately for the whole world (thats you)…my art lends itself to the more unattainable aspects of the web. My music can be heard, but only live, my food can be experienced, thats live also, and paintings just hide from my camera flash it seems. Recently (I promised myself this would never happen) Ive been neglecting my guitar (sob..sob..) and ergo have been neglecting my personality… those who have successfully become their art know the pain of being separated. I think its what they call a “rut” – random utter terribleness.
I failed my last pizza, I haven’t played guitar as well, I think im becoming slightly more ignorant, every second I warrant myself dissected from life. My hands just flop at the sight my piano, drumming is now just a slur of loud sharp remarks. I think its hilarious, but thats because im looking at the situation through past eyes. Bummer.
Some music! Whats the only medicine for life sickness! Good vibes! Whats that great thing that does stuff to other things! Music! Its in the air but you cant see it! Du-du-du-dum du-dum music! (music theme song)
This is a good song for those who can appreciate “length”, yes ladies, this song has some large hands about so enjoy. (but is very serious – I suggest clearing the dirty joke from your mind and letting the music lead some of your thoughts)
Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean – Explosions in the Sky
Thanks to the GJL (Giant Julian Library) I have on my computer, this band has suddenly become apparent. It is Post- Rock. this is an extremely atmospheric song, it sounds like narration. If you can’t stand it, force yourself to at least go to 7:10! Its worth it. For my musical taste this is a very new-age song, for everyone else… there is a comment box. ENJOY
Today’s post was going to be dedicated to a friend of mine, Alex. Unfortunately I do not have a photo of him. So until then, the song will remain mystery, and you can goggle at this photo I found after scouring the web.Try to imagine Alex as a combination of these three lads, especially the one on the right. This is a photo of a band called “Shadrack Chameleon” which has absolutely nothing to do with anything. So Alex requested today’s song of the day be ________ by ________ , and it will be revealed when I have his photo! Until then:
Genghis Khan by Iron Maiden
Usually they have instruments (and shirts) over beer. This is the only pic I could find that didn’t look like a school portrait. Anyway from left to right we have what looks like the guitarist Dave Murray, then its the stoic Bruce Dickinson, to Steve Harris, Adrian Smith, and the other guitar, Janick Gers. Genghis Khan is an ode to the cruel ,Mongol leader…Genghis Khan. The song is heavy and fast, sticking to the distinct Maiden sound. Its instrumental, all around very short and sweet. For me, the song gets good around the middle.
