my main computer, an apple macbookpro, joined a wet t-shirt contest and won. she found a hunk of a man and took off with him. so while i try to get her back, i am back with my old lover, powerbook. powerbook is a hot bird, she gives me burns when i type her on the bed. she's a little slow, but her keystrokes are a more solid feel.
anyway. been checking out http://www.imeem.com/. is it just me, or do these websites always have the same "schtick" on playlists and genere classification and whatnot? ie, don't they all seem very shallow?
i can understand that if you're aged between 10 to 20, your musical tastes being narrow. i can understand that this is probably the (shrinking?) age group that the marketeers want to dominate. but what about me? almost 40, but still interested in finding new music. do i have to keep on stumbling upon website after website? isn't the world going to be flat? i like modest mouse "dashboard", fuck, they're friends of mine. major namedropping aktion! but when you reach a conversant level with music, if you heard a song twice, you kind of build a database of the structure and you want to move on to something else.
or what about older music? don't people want to know what inspired whoever to come up with whatever song? or where they got the idea, or oftentimes, plain ripped it off? the art is in making your references vague, referencing happens all the time. it's a statement of respect and compliment.
i want a panic/surprise button.
applestore genius bar, you better fix my keyboard on the spot tomorrow. otherwise i ain't buying that leopard skin swimsuit. ooh, just gave me the horn thinking about that. build my own midgets.
