Okay so I received a mixtape from my dear friend David Banker and it had some incredible songs. Honestly it inspired me to create what I have deemed as "The Epitomy of Mixes". Not only do I understand that I misspelled "epitome" but I recognize that my title for this blog is misleading. Sorry Star Wars fans, these are all about music.
What I have noticed over the past couple of years is that people will say "oh yeah man, I'm into all kinds of music". They are absolutely full of shit. While there are literally only two genres of music that I steer clear of (house/techno and country), I generally can listen to anything. What I hate is people who say they love music in general but don't have appreciation genres they don't particularly like. If you say you love music as a whole, you should mean that. Obviously you are entitled to not like songs/artists/genres but when you make a statement like that, you better have a Justin Jewell type of appreciation for music.
A prime example is when I lived in Radford and for years I kept hearing people say that they loved all music but hated rap/hip hop/or whatever the fuck its called now. I thought it was hilarious because I never pretended to like anything but rap and R&B when I first got to Radford. I mean I thought it was a bit ridiculous that people were saying "well its not even music". I didn't really have any arguments as I was a novice to discussing music. Some of my dearest friends didn't like rap for the longest time. Now when I say rap, its like saying rock. There are so many different levels and genres. Just because you like The Beatles doesn't mean you have to like Nickelback. And vice versa. While Nickelback sucks I do not shit on people for liking them. I just use the band as a joke because personally I think they have about as much talent as Reese Witherspoon. Just like if you like The Roots, it doesn't mean you have to listen to Big Sean and the rest of those white-stains that are all over the radio right now. You like NWA, Notorious B.I.G, Scarface? Then don't listen to Wocka Flocka Flame. He's a turd in the punch bowl of my musical existence!
I've gotten way off topic but that is what drinking does to you. What I plan to do with this series of writings is to briefly cover a few musical points and make a few notes while listing the 101 songs that I have put together (in one night, without repeating artists), to created what I think is a fucking awesome playlist of bonerific songs.
Oh and order of songs has been altered because I made the playlist in itunes and I accidentally shuffled everything. Suck on that Bill Gates!!!!
