It's funny how some people never try to understand the music they listen to. Not caring about the message music tries to convey is kinda like not caring if you're hungry. You tend to miss out on one of the pleasures life has to offer. Plus, you realize the importance of the message the musician is trying to convey.
It's fine though. Like Russel Peters says, "Whatever makes you happy."
I also have music I'd rather just listen to. Those are usually instrumental bands or bands who sing about love and relationships and such.
But reading between the lines has become kind of an addiction for me. Ever since I stumbled upon Nirvana back in '01, it's been one fucked-up awesome ride after another. I loved the way he bashed "cool kids" in Nevermind. Sad irony is, they actually loved it. xD I bet most of the people who bought that album didn't and still don't notice at all. Too bad Kurt had to give in to commercialism, but he did it with flair. You just gotta admire that.
That band inspired me to become a musician as well as a songwriter, but they also taught me not to stoop too low, and to make music for myself instead of others. Although, sometimes, it does feel good indulge in appreciation now and then. That's when the power of conformism overwhelms my morals.
In other news, my download rampage continues. She says it's good that I'm a dl-junkie instead of just a junkie lol. I think it's awesome. Keeps my mind busy.
Gonna start swimming as well, so looking forward to that. I seriously need a new book. Reading the same books over and over again is kinda boring... unless it's The Lord Of The Rings. J. Tolkien is amazing, but none of his other books even compare to this one. I've read 3 others; The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin. Pretty good, but not as good as LOTR. Read it 6 times (!) and it still doesn't get old!!
Aagh, I really need to get some sleep tonight. Long day tomorrow.

*lets the blessed, angelic voice of Kurt Cobain flow through her room*ahhhh, he makes me happy =) Nirvana is so great, I read a bible sized biography on them, Nirvana NOT Kurt Cobain. As he is often referred to AS Nirvana, however Krist Novoselick and the various drummers, Dave Grohl being their drummer last need credit to! I forget the names of all their drummers they had.. but they always seemed to have trouble keeping a permanent drummer ha ha =pI need new books as well =O .. and I have never ever read LOTR OR watched it....... -

Everything you need to read is on soulcast I hear!As for the words to songs have you ever listened to the touching words of AC/DC and "HIGHWAY TO HELL" ?Thats my favorite due to the deep meaning! -

Yeah, their drummers were all pretty good, though I think Grohl deserves the better part of the recognition, especially since he kept his cool and is still living the dream. But to me, Kurt will always be the genius behind Nirvana. Shame he had to die... :(
You've never read LOTR!! D: You must!!
Lol :P naah it's really that good. Well, to me anyway, since I'm really into myths and folklore and stuff. Fiction always seemed to grab my attention. Non-fiction... not as interesting. :P I can't help it!! The voice in my head turns into a monotonous drone whenever I read stuff like The God Delusion or A Brief History Of Time. *shrugs* :P

Lol, yeah there's definitely a lot to read on soulcast :P
And Highway To Hell is a great song, but the meaning is pretty clear and concise when you read up on their past tour dramas. Not as deep as you make it out to be, but it shows how you should never give up, no matter how fucked up the road may be. Pretty clear but great advice nonetheless. :)

mm yesh yesh Kurt for sure had a lot do with the genius, but you can't forget the other guys who tagged along for the crazy ride. =] I to enjoy fiction more, I often read fiction books about people who have like ADD, OCD, or are like psychopaths =p I'm a little picky with "fantasy" books. It always depends on the fantasy words they use, if there totally ridiculous and awkward it doesn't really attract me to it =p -
