Minor Adventures

While my college days dwindle down to a close, I have had a look back at everything I have and have not accomplished while I was a student. Some of those things I never expected to happen, while others I wished could have happened. One of those things that I am most proud of is that I have discovered my love for all things music. 

Now, I do not love everything music, but most of it. My favorites are Elvis Presley, Social Distortion, and all things alternative rock. I love to go to dive bars and see local bands, but not to big venues. I really developed a dislike for hip-hop/rap (what do they call it these days- I call it all cRAP), and for country. Most of it sounds the same and is way overplayed (“Need You Now,” anyone?).

The one thing about music that I pride myself on is my -ahem- ability to call out what is good music, and what I know needs work. Recently, I listened to a friend’s music that they had been working on, and they were one of those artists who needed to put some more time into their work. Also, I follow a really great pop punk band that are just beginning to see the results of their work. They are going to be profiled in AP Magazine soon.

I love a lot of different genres. I range from blues (old school, Muddy Waters types), to punk rock, and from jazz to house. I hope that some day I can live the dream and do P.R. for a music label or band. For now, I am going to try to intern for them, and do my darnedest to get a job.
