The Past and Pending

If you try to steal the beat the beat will steal you
Brand New

—The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot


I was never a big “Brand New” fan back in the day…but i’ve got to say this song has some of my very favourite lyrics: 

You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second-hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins
Holding on to yourself the best you can
You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins

Ramblings of a music snob

Kids these days are jumping into the modern day music scene and listening to garbage —and I fear they have no choice.

How can we expect youth to “know any better” when the majority of music on the radio and tv is crap?

I whole heartedly believe the only way to rise above the simple, bubblegum, lacklustre, manufactured music is to appreciate the music that came before your generation.

Discovering the music and the innovators of the past lets you find greatness in modern music. It lets you sift through the shit to find people with real talent and real guts.

I know if I have kids I’m sitting them down and making them listen to the “musical greats” from my grandparents, parents and my generation before unleashing them into the world to find their own generations’ musical gems.

I’m embarrassed by what will be known as the “popular music” of my time.

Something is out of whack.

NIghtbox - Pyramid

Toronto based nightbox. I think I still prefer “burning” but this is catchy too

Is it normal to have a soundtrack of songs playing in my mind as i am studying? I’m not crazy right?
