i recently met someone who told me that they 'weren't really into music'. what?
i found this completely baffling because i don't understand how someone couldn't, especially at my age, be really into listening and enjoying music. now, i'm not trying to make out like i'm one of those who only ever listens to new music until it's discovered by more people and then i go back to looking for emerging music.
there's really nothing i hate more than an indie kid telling me about all the 'really fresh sounds currently in the belfast underground music industry. yeah, i go to a lot of gigs, bands you wouldn't know, i'll introduce you to some fantastic tunes'. - this angers me.
but i do think music is a huge part of my personality and i really couldn't see myself not listening to it at any possible moment.
so i told this guy (after i closed my jaw after that huge shock), that i find it really enjoyable listening to new things as much as possible and broadening my music taste. he then mumbled something about liking listening to radio one in the car and how a few of katy perry's hits are pretty good. needless to say, we had very little to talk about after this..
anyway, later that evening i discovered these guys and i think they prove my point that there is life outside of radio one's chart show.
(plus, when i @reply'd these fellows on twitter telling them that i really liked their music they replied back to me. twice! i got far too excited about it.)
