Things I Gotta Say...So, Sorry...
What I dont understand is why people think I care so much about their opinions of how I should make music. The only opinions I care about in that category are my own. So people who dont like 5STD music, Im sorry you dont like it, but i honestly dont care, so find another band to make fun of because your not hurting my feelings at all!
Another thing i dont really understand is the fact that some people intentionally try to make a career out of selling their music. I mean, its nice to get success for what you do, but if you intentionally try to sell your music out, it doesnt really say a lot about you. But hey, this is just my opinion and i dont think any less of you if you plan on doing this. its just not something Id do.
Wanna know something i really hate? Labels. What is the point of putting someone in a category with no room to change and grow? Its unfair to someone as a person. Its like putting them in a cage like a dog. Its wrong.
On a positive note...
My good friend Nick just gave me this wicked CD of Capitol Records stuff. Its pretty good. Some of my favorites are: Coldplay- "Moses," Liz Phair- "Extraordinary," Yellowcard- "Way Away," The Dandy Warhols- "The Last High," Auf der Maur- "Followed the Waves," Teh Star Spangles- "I Dont Wanna Be Crazy Anymore," Steriogram- "Walkie Talkie Man"
Thank You's
First of all, I want to thank God because i wouldnt be anywhere without His blessings upon my life. Next i want to thank my parents: Mom for taking me to everything and teaching me my values, Dad! You were right! Acoustic guitar is better than electric. I want to thank my "homies" back in Beloit, oh yeh and that one guy who lives in Janesville (LOL) OH and i want to thank Trojan Condoms for making my experience pleasurable and safe! THANKS GUYS! Dont be silly, bag your willy! Our groupies are pretty cool too! Brittany, Kirk, Ashley (both of you) Kayla, and everyone else, your all awesome! I wanna thank Paradise for providing the wonderful guitars that i have. And Lauras mom n dad, thats for the rehearsal space...I always said i was gonna thank Gwen Stefani, so there ya go, i just thanked Gwen Stefani. AND, last but not least, I want to thank 2 very cool kids who've helped us out. Andy, your such a talented guy and your really nice as well. I hope things work out between you and Lauren. Nick, you've honestly been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I love you!
Anyway, Im just really glad that i can make music because its a great thing. There have been times where i was ready to give up, but music has saved me. Check out these bands: AFI, Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Coldplay, The Darkness, Nirvana, Northstar, Fuel, Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessionals, Steriogram, The Star Spangles, Auf Der Maur, The Vines, Taking Back Sunday, Vendetta Red, Starsailor, Majorie Fair, The Dandy Warhols, No Doubt, Outkast, Van Hunt, Eminem.
Those are some artists talented in so many ways, lyrically, musically, and vocally.
