Prideful incentive

With new gained experiences comes the trouble of having to process them all into something useful. Making sure to shape the experiences in the right way and not necessarily take it for face value. The summer has been eventful, though it is not without a good bit of relief that I'm finding it to be all but over. While it's been nice, the heat has at times seriously exacerbated my will to, well, acctually do something.
But that's about to change, studies are coming and along with it comes the inspiration for writing in this here blogo-box. That's what I call blogs now. I find that it more clearly depicts how boxed in most blogs are, around the writers oppinions. Not to say that it is wrong for it to be working in that way, since incendiary oppinions and ill informed remarks are usually the most entertaining. Though I don't think anything I've ever written has been incendiary, there most certainly has been some ill informed bits of wordplay on this blogo-box. That will definitely stay the same. As it should.

I do seem to misremember a vague glimmer of a hint that this blog once was about music, which, now that I think about it, isn't a very bad idea. Yeah, I might do that again!
See, I'm the kinda guy that walks around with a "The Doors" t-shirt despite ever really listening to them. The kinda guy who walks around with gigantic headphones only to listen to the Inception soundtrack. I'm a hybrid of a music lover, half man, half goat, if you will.
While my passion for movies is stronger than that for music, the musical world is often more interesting to delve into. As in what it means to people. Because music is this beautiful metaphysical thing, that can invoke any emotion, from giddynes to fear, to all around joy. While film usually is more easily transfixed on one matter, music can mean anything, do anything, say anything to any given guy or gal. Music is one of the most true artforms there are. That is why it's important to me.

This track right here is one of the greatest examples I can think of, when it comes to the great versatility of music. It's a fantastic production from the indie rock duo, Dough Martsch and Brett Nelson of Built to Spill fame. Instead of doing a greatest hits CD, they went ahead and reworked some of their best songs in an 80's, synth heavy style, under the moniker of the Electric Anthology Project. It works very well.
