Why?

  • There's the music that you instantly like... and then forget. Then there's the music that grows on you... but how many people out there have the same vibes towards music they liked/hated 5 years ago? I remember, rather embarrasingly, how I used to be really into the Spice Girls and B*Witched. The really superficial pop-scene. Luckily I only had to endure 2 years of that mindless blather before they phased out. And all the while, there were other bands out there that I know I wouldn't have appreciated at the time, but am really into now. I would never have understood bands like Radiohead/Our Lady Peace/U2/The Clash etc. when I was 11. Which makes me feel kinda stupid considering the huge following they've amassed of particularly young people. Apart from the Clash. Nobody else I know has ever heard of them. Quite disturbing. Rock the Casbah, All the Young Punks... People are like, "Who?" Recently I got into Evanescence... and then I got out of Evanescence. They're great, but they don't have the same staying power as bands like OLP for example. Maybe its because, after listening to their album quite a few times, their 'distinctive' sound is starting to feel... the same. I've lost count of the number of tracks which Amy Lee starts on the same note, and then proceeds to sing a melody which reminds me of my 8-year old attempts at writing a pop song. Of course, her voice and lyrics are way more passionate. My efforts had the B*witched and Girls Aloud. Maybe I'll be big-headed and compare my 8-year-old songs to Atomic Kitten!? Enough of that. I'll get to the point in another entry. (nooo!!!!)
