It's about that time

Yeah it's about that time
That you contact me to make rhyme
And reason of what you did
Now that it's been a year

I am open to listen and try to appreciate new music, but I judge quickly. I generally like the same genres and sounds and if I am going to like it I know right away within seconds. I like a smooth piano, guitar, with a mature sounding voice and not two minutes of instrumentals to introduce a song with three verses. I often listen to bands I don't know based on their name. That's how I found The Rocket Summer actually. But I also try different singers out too. Well yesterday I was going through music on Joanna's computer and I found something that I loved from the first note of the first song I heard. His name is Greg Laswell. I'm not too good at describing what specific singers sound like, but I'd say his sound reminds me a bit of Stars. It's so refreshing to find a singer or band that you instantly love and listening through their whole catalogue. That's how it was for some of my favorite bands (although I use the term 'some' for a reason- for The Killers and Green Day it did not at all go that way). 

This banter was actually originally going to go in a completely different direction. I was going to relate my life to the lyrics and go on about how I can't believe it's been two years since my freshman year and that whole time. But I don't need to talk/think about that. I'd rather talk about how I love finding new music that I adore. That's why I started a radio show and even if Ashley and occasionally some other friends are the only ones listening, it forces me to find new music each week. I may not be a musician myself, but I have such a great passion for them. When I'm seeing my favorite bands live, or even a band that is just really, really, really good I find myself with this huge smile and warm feeling in my heart. Even watching Frank Turner perform on Jimmy Kimmel on TV makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I just want to do this forever.
