Okay, yesterday was boring. So i have nothing to write about...much. I'm in class now. Very sleepy, very tired. You guys should check out taylor swift's Love Story meets Coldplay's Viva la Vida. Very very nice.
So good... good music has been missing out lately haven't it? All the new songs i hear are all.... maybe i am just getting old. Maybe i now belong to the old generation and now has to resort to radio stations like Light and Easy. its just that nowadays music released as hit songs are either about the dark side of life, or love songs. Hip hop and rap are hopeless because all they do is trash their mothers and sabotage my vocabulary. Pop is not what it used to be already. it used to be fun, young, light. Now its all i love you, you dont love me, we are over, im so heartbroken....etc. it gets BORING. people, come on la. cant you songwriters do better???!!!
most of you probably dont know who John Denver is but you should check out his music if you want songs filled with meaning and peace. He is a country singer. i hate country but i find that if genre has materials other than love and the screw ups of lives of the common people, then the country genre has a shot. they sing about the nature, about world problems, about the difference we can make, about the simple things in life. of course there are sappy lovesick cowboys like er... Garth? there is another sappy cowboy but i cant remember his name but my brother is crazy about him. lovesick cowboy just sounds wrong to me. doesnt it to u ? i associate cowboy with macho, strength, masculine......not lovesick.
Alternative rock or whatever Avril lavigne is classified as is also a breath of fresh air. in fact, all music that breaks away from this love song trend is a breath of fresh air.

There are a lot of bands out there awaiting discovery. They just aren't played by mainstream radio. Try looking for the likes of Iron & Wine, CSS, Los Campesinos!, Tellison, Elliot Friedman, or even Sebastien Tellier.
Failing that, there are more mainstream acts like Lykke Li, Kate Nash, Jose Gonzalez, The Wombats, Modest Mouse, Interpol or even Vampire Weekend.
They've been there all along. The problem is that the majority of the public prefer little poppy or RnB-ish hits. A little depressing really.
