they say music soothes the savage beast


It's Friday. Time for the Friday Five...

1) What was the first CD/Record/Album/Artist you ever bought and what format was it in? (Vinyl/Cassette/CD/MP3 Download)?
i bought Tiffany's debut album on cassette. i wore that thing out!

2) How do you usually listen to music? (iPod/Walkman/Stereo/Radio)
i normally listen to my ipod, unless i'm at work (through the computer) or in my car (CD player).

3) What is your favorite genre of music and why?
i love any type or rock (folk, hard, classic, etc.), and soundtrack by thomas newman.

4) What is your opinion on music video shows and music televion?
i don't think it's about music anymore, especially music television. none of those channels have anything to do with music. it's all about "yo mamma" or some other nonsense.

5) Do you usually agree with who the winners of the Grammy Awards are?
no. real artists/musicians that are talented are never really nominated. people who are nominated and/or win...it's all about the commercial aspect of music. i get it. i just don't like or agree with it, and, yes, i do listen to john mayer, and he is a commercial artist, but i did start listening to him before the grammy wins, huge co-headlining $60 a ticket tours. i guess i just don't like radio-driven bands and music. a lot of the people i listen to are musicians whose music falls under one of three categories: (1) no one but me and a few friends know who they are, (2) their music isn't played on the radio, and (3) tickets to their live shows cost less than $10. i could go on about this topic, but i'll spare you.
