Talking to myself isn't a bad thing.

 I guess it's hard for everyone to launch a blog, especially people who are still clueless about how blogger.com actually works. At the moment I appear to be talking to myself, which I don't mind too much because I generally agree with what I'm saying. If that makes sense.
 So I recently introduced a friend to Biffy Clyro, that lovely Scottish band that have suddenly got successful. I laughed at her for not knowing who they were but I guess the jokes on me, as now she is seeing them at Glastonbury this year. Maybe this plan of mine is backfiring...
 I realise I write in a sort of arrogant, descending style. But my opinion is not the only opinion to have (even though it is a pretty good one).It's OK if you like TV talent shows, or auto-tuned music or anything else, because it makes you, you (without meaning to sound cheesy or naff). I think its important for the indie, rebellious, older, lesser known and more individual music to be appreciated too, because I reckon in the long run they tell the truth about how life really is better than people who have been famous to long to remember what normal life is. Anyway I'm going to stop talking now before I shoot myself in the head for sounding too cheesy and annoying. I just don't want hate mail, thank you very much :)

Song for today: The Killing Moon - Echo and The Bunnymen
 I only heard about this band about a month ago, despite them being around for such a long time, but this song has just got me hooked. Such a wonderful, mystic feel to it, great to listen to when you want to zone out for a bit.

First blog... First attempt at trying to educate those who need it.

 So I have been thinking lately. About teen music culture. And let me tell you, it's a sad thought that so many teens nowadays are just trapped in a loop of autotune, listening to music and songs made from talent shows, and worshipping boy bands who happen to have nice bodies. I mean, surely music is about music, not six packs and hair flips!
 To try and battle this computer-generated epidemic, I have taken it upon myself to musically educate my fellow school friends, brainwashed into believing the only way to get famous is to go onto a talent show and sing a few lines from a song. And, of course, to create a blog sanctuary for those who agree with me. Small steps, but I guess every little helps in the great battle against clone-dom, Xfactor, and Justin freaking Beiber.
 Anyway, wouldn't it be nice to hear about lovely indie rock bands, from a girl trying to fight the likes of Rebecca Black and JLS? Of course it would be. So thats what I'm going to do. With every blog, I shall recommend a band and a good song to start with, or just a song thats buzzing around in my head, and complain about Simon Cowell clones and enthuse about my music education success stories. Which there will be, of course, lots. Now doesn't that sound fabulous?

Song of this blog: Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana
 Yes, I know its not exactly new, but that doesn't stop it from being absolutely mind blowing. Lets kick start the revolution by having this blasting from every speaker.
