music is the spice of life

yes, i actually believe that quote.

course, if i didn’t, i’d be in a world of hurt wouldn’t i?  lol

i was gonna say something and i can’t remember what it… oh yeah!  i am currently listening to Björk, but not just any Björk.  its a jazz cd she did (its an import).  its all in icelandic.  its crazy, but fun at the same time.  there is a really cool samba song that just gets my big ol’ booty movin’ in my chair.  its fun!  so yeah… i really do listen to everything.

i was reading someone’s blog on MySpace the other day and she stated that she liked all music… except for opera, country and polka.  to which, i messaged her.  i will sum up the conversation.

me: have you ever listened to opera?
her: yeah… once.  i didn’t like it.
me: why didn’t you like it?
her: it was too crazy.  it didn’t make any sense.  besides, they sing too loud. [insert me rolling eyes… yes, at this point i should have realised to end this conversation]
me: what opera was it?
her: i don’t remember.  i just know i didn’t like it.

needless to say i gave up.  its funny, because i then started looking at what i listen to (just to make sure i wasn’t being a hypocrite).  and i thought to myself, i don’t particularly care for rap… but then realised i have quite a bit of rap on my computer.  not a huge amount, but good stuff.  Humpty (one hit wonder), Tupac…  you know what starts to get on my nerves about rap (and i could be seriously wrong about this… please correct me if i am) is the lack of good rhymes.  it used to be about good rhythm and timing of the words, not just the words.  now its more people just free talking over a beat.  where is the skill in that?  i know writing those words can be difficult, but if you can’t be even remotely rhythmicly challenging, then why bother?!

oy…  next… polka, i’ll admit.  i love polka.  i’m nowegian/german, what i can i say! 🙂

what else?  heavy metal, oh yeah baby…  emo (as bad as i find this type of music, i do like one or two bands).  i can’t think of any other… oh, country.  yes, i even like some country.  however, i’m not huge on this one…

um… i totally have petered out on this topic.  i thought i would be able to rant longer.  boy was i wrong.

i’m tempted to not post this entry, but if you’re reading this than i was too lazy to actually not post.  (is that even possible?  i would think it would be more work to actually post it than not…  oh well.  don’t question!!!!)

have a nice day!
