boobies luv, michael

finding new music (to me) is like opening presents at mother fucking christmas. In my case, I scrounge the blogs of the net through the excellent conglomerate site, elbo.ws. I find a song by a band I like or one I want to get to know or, hell, one who's name sounds interesting and I right-click, download linked file... and poof. new song. wait like 38 seconds or some shit and it's opening in itunes. omg. the tension and the terror and the anxiety of "will this song be a good one?" "what if this is my new favvie song?" "what if I decide to ultimately delete this song?" I pretty much judge all new music within the first 30-40 seconds of listening. a good beat, intense vocals, maybe an exxxotic instrument? all of these things will wrap me around the song's finger like a pointless scarf around some hipster bitch's neck. 

if it is indeed my new favorite song, three things will happen. first, I will immediately put the song on repeat and listen to it over and over while I do the other two things. second, I will research the song in some way. where did the band come from? are the lyrics any way referencing a serial killer? is there any six-degrees of separation type shit between me and absolutely anything relating to the song or band? I might look up the lyrics, but probs not because I have always been bad with lyrics. even to some of my favorite songs, the lyrics will never fully embed themselves into my brain. thirdly, I will tell every living human I know about this particular song in any way possible. twitter, facebook, phone calls, text messages, youtube vidz, blogging, tattoos, sculpture, billboards; that type of shit. I will beat this song to fucking death until my friends hate me. I will play it in my car and they will start stabbing the nearest speaker. I, however, will blast in my earphones, permanently ingraining the sound waves into my eardrums.

sometimes, I download in bulk. I get on this weird roll where I suddenly have to own every song ever recorded, produced, covered, referenced by a particular band. this will most likely morph into an obsession with bands related to the first band and before I know it I'll have downloaded 89 songs in one night, mostly of bands I've never heard before. obviously, individual attention to individual songs would take copious amounts of time that I'd rather spend watching mad men or project runway or the grindhouse films over and over. this results in me finding a song one or two or three months after I originally downloaded it and becoming infatuated. which will happen when there seems to be a drought in new music.

this post was pointless haha.
