It has been over half a year since I last posted on this blog, and would have been longer had a little girl not irked me to return with her enthusiasm.
There's no sense in me recapping my life since than, for not only would that be narcissistic but a pain. Imagine that, covering 8 months worth of my life in a blog? No thank you. I'm afraid I'd bore you and myself.
So if we don't talk about the past than what can we possibly talk about? How about the now!
Right now I'm taking down some lecture notes about John Coltrane for my finals next week. I've always found jazz interesting, it's history and style of music was always worth my time. I didn't believe there could be a way for it to be a waste of my time, but sadly, there is. My jazz history teacher is such a bore that music majors have dropped his class, and I would have followed suit were it not because of my need for another humanity class. But on to lighter and brighter news!
A while back my friend Stephen posted up a youtube video on facebook where a German band covered American hits. What was interesting is not that they were German, but how they covered these songs: in a rockabilly style reminiscent of the 1950s. Upon further research, there is a subculture in Europe that thrives out of dissatisfaction of today's mainstream.
Closing out this blog will be one of their first released songs, a cover of Rihanna's Umbrella, fitting for today's weather. Good night and good day world!
hahahaha im the little girl :)
