What a horrible way to wake up, dreaming of falling backwards down a steep hill. Recently I started this blog, and my other one "Anarchy in the Mind" (which is dedicated to reviews of new bands I find online). Was actually quite surprised when only on day two AITM had 150 views. It may seem like, oh I don't like offending people by telling them their music sucks and I'm giving to lenient reviews and such. But what I say, is what I think. Yes I really don't want to offend to many people because I know how difficult it is to send your music out to the big bad world of the internet and have it ripped apart limb for limb. That being said, everything I've ever posted has been, well, shit, and I know full well of that. But there are alot of great bands out there that I myself am just discovering that I really do like. I actually sing "Caught Up" by The Glass Hearts in the shower, its a simple and catchy song. Broni reminds me of this guy I use to work with, except Broni seems alot more fucking awesome and I'd prefer to have a pint with him than the guy I once knew. Famous is a great Eastern Canadian band that would be so cool to see live. And MakethisRelate, I'm actually really bummed that they aren't together. Before I could even review them, I drove down to futureshop to buy an itunes card so I could buy all there stuff. For those four, I bunkered down and listened and wrote and it just came easily because at that time I was in the right frame of mind and such. I actually have four more reviews basically half way done because I started them, then got distracted with other things or people started talking to me. There are a few bands I've listened to and I'm unsure what to write because its not really my style but I know I'm also doing this to branch out my musical knowledge. i also know that my first four reviews weren't that, well, lets say structured. They seemed to go in a few directions and such, so I'm trying to create a rubric to help keep all my thoughts on track. I haven't had any negative comments so far so that's probably a good sign, I think. I know none of the bands, I know no one in a band right now actually. Which that being said is quite depressing I think. It's like when you fancy a chick but she's never been to a concert. If you ever find my pintrest, fuck that website is a nightmare. It's so confusing, I don't understand it at all. I think the only genre I won't really be able to say anything on is metal, and that ranges through all subgenres. I know it's probably technically not metal, but I'm adding all that screamo and such in there as well. I just can't determine what is tasty to the ear and what isn't. Just not my cup of tea, that being said, orange pekoe. I like listening to music, I don't think I'm THAT bad of a writter. I know I'm a bit rusty, that's what happens when you finish highschool, do a bit of university, run away for a year, and then have to move back in at home because you've got no where else to go. I'd really love to backpack the UK, and all of Europe for that matter. No I'm not going to proof read this, all errors are planned. Yes this is random and with little structure and whatever comes to mind I type. Broni is calming, I really like his first album "Every Thought i've had since I was 10", its just very mello. Probably why I'm in no mood to get off my bed and do anything productive today. I do have a job, just got it actually whilst in the middle of this. Late night/early morning stocker. Not the type with bionoculars hiding in the bushes infront of a big titted slags house, but more of the type in a store. "But I'm insecure like butter", I think that line is priceless. I'm sure we all have some regrets (I mean, you should never regret anything because at the time, that's who you were, but now, it's like what the fuck was I thinking). Basically at this point I'm wasting time because I have no idea what I'm going to do after I finish typing. A bonfire tonight would be cool, but I think my buddy is busy. Anyways I've rambled on enough and I'm sure you're all pretty bored now, or at least I am. Hope you keep checking up on my latest on twitter (@robfletcher12) and keep reading AITM and finding new bands on your own. Take care, peace, cheers. -Rob
P.S. Just wondering who keeps giving me +1's on all my stuff, thanks to whoever you are! I actually had to have my friend explain to me that the +1's were like "likes" on facebook.
