As it is the first post in a while, it shall be nameless. Well not really
nameless as its name is a declaration of no name but in spirit and theory it is
pretty nameless. I also redesigned the blog as people - person: I think Weakley
is the only reader here - may have noticed.
So, yeah. I'm listening to Panic at the Disco right now, they're very good on
account of being extremely original, which is the only way to be good at
anything nowadays: You have to be noticed.
You could be the most amazing accurate guitarist in the world but if your
Solos are nothing new you will still somehow fall into mediocrity and although
this may be sad for you, I think it is probably a good thing - Doesn't Darwin’s
theory of evolution state that for evolution to occur you need to have
variation?
It does, I checked. You need Variation, competition, mutations (i.e. mistakes)
and random mating. The music industry is much the same: for a genre to grow and
evolve it needs to be different (have variation), ideas are developed through
mistakes and such (mutations), it needs competition for the best bands to
emerge and we'll leave the random mating up to the groupies as I don't feel
like making a profound allusion on that regard.
We're currently witnessing the formation of a very strange genre of music I
think; it's this currently unnamed electronic stuff that uses both acoustic and
electronic instruments, this beautiful Frankenstein’s monster of sound that
emerges in the form of Awolnation and Vampire
weekend (from which my blog's name stems). If done properly this sort of
alternative stuff can work very well. The prospects are good.
I was a steampunk yesterday, it was a lot of fun.
