Over and Out
Listening to: Alkaline Trio
Treated myself to a brand-new CD yesterday....on the day it actually came out into stores....whoa, I'm crazy!!! :)
Agony and Irony by Alkaline Trio....I like it quite a bit, though I was a little upset that they changed their sound a little bit....contrary to popular belief I actually liked their more "moody" albums (Crimson, Good Mourning)....though I'm not saying that this new CD is shit...the first four songs are the best, in my opinion...while the rest of the album is.....corny (I suppose that's the best word for it....)
I've also really gotten into the music of Charlotte Sometimes....she just sent out her debut album Waves and the Both of Us....
Her stuff is certainly a lot different from what i usually listen to...but I guess maybe my tastes are changing...just a little though....it's funny to think that I've gone from hardcore shit like Poison the Well to the pretty voices of Kate Nash and Charlotte Sometimes....in fact there was a time when I absolutely hated female singers (their voices...not personally haha)...but now I really like listening to female fronted bands such as No Doubt, Flyleaf, Paramore, the Distillers (well....), 1997, Garbage...etc...
Its funny how people can changes....I went from being a 10 yr old who absolutely loved the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, all the freakin' boy bands that were around in '97-'98....to the 12 yr old who was obsessed with blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, etc...moving ahead to the 15 yr old who would only listen to LostProphets and Weezer...16 yrs was Green Day all over again....17yrs Bad Religion and other '80s punk rockers, plus I discovered the wonders of the so-called "emo" rock.....18yrs- present I feel like I'm forever going to be stuck in the era of '90s alternative rock....plus all the pop-punk that I "refused" to listen to when I was a mere child of 13 (I already caught the hypocrisy here.... )
I don't know why people feel they need to define themselves by the music they listen to....I know that in high school its just so darn important to hang with people who look, think, and listen to the same music as you...but even after you find this to be sorta true....many of my friends think that my music taste is weird...i sort of freaked them out when they got into my car and i had forgotten that i had been blasting Poison the Well before.....suffice to say they were put off by the sound that assaulted their ears when i turned the ignition
It doesn't really bother me....but i always feel that i need to be careful with what music I listen to when its my turn to drive....its like they don't think that i should listen to what i do because of how i look....its stupid, really....
Well...I suppose that people can be stupid...even if they don't realize it...
