the monday blues
in serious need of a hug right now, and a voice of reason.

gimme some lovin
i'm not trying to be rude but it isn't the nicest thing to tag your hate. i mean if you're going through a tag of something you like you wanna find stuff you like.
Whoops, didn’t realize the implications of that—I don’t really use tags on things that often and I guess that just popped out of my keyboard without me thinking. Tag’s been removed, keep enjoying what you enjoy.
Consider me offended.
For my opinions on M&S? Apologies if my opinions don’t match yours. (but it’d be a pretty boring world if we all thought the same, wouldn’t it)
some musical irritation
My friend in studio has been playing “Mumford & Sons” for the past hour and a half. Now, we all agreed that this was okay. So really, I have no right to complain. But seriously, every single (and I mean, every single) one of their songs sounds the same. Good lord. I actually thought their first album was alright. But this second one? Man, was I mistaken if I thought their band was something unique. They’re like one hit wonders—only one album wonders. It’s as if they pegged a particular style of song incredibly well and one album of that sort of song was great. America ate it up. But after that one album, all their creativity left. They aren’t even that talented of musicians. Seriously.
-chord based guitar strumming methodically
-the same pulsing drum beat
-the banjo playing one riff that alternates going a step up or a step down (sometimes it goes up and down about half a scale. wow) every time the song “picks up”
-the same predictable harmony and patterns of the voice
-a quiet, soulful beginning that builds to the banjo and drum mentioned before
-even the same key
I am seriously frustrated with this band. If you can’t make an album with some variety, please, please don’t produce it. Ugh.
Through all of this, I don’t want to put my headphones back on, though, for fear of offending her. So, I sit here. And gripe.
marvelous
I have had a marvelous day.
Also, in contrast, Lil Wayne is dying. I literally cannot name one Lil Wayne song. Literally. Honestly, I’ve always despised what he represents But it still makes me sad that a man could be so unhappy with himself that he would ravage himself with codeine as much as he has. I’m sorry for the pain.
