I've gotten my epistemological argument into the hands of a person who appears to be much more well read than I am on the topic which I'm arguing, and he says he'll help me to strengthen and fortify my argument, to improve the presentation of it, and to correct some errors I've made. Very much looking forward to his input.
I was listening to Igorrr today, and it got me feeling really angry and angsty and maybe a little depressed... but it also got me energized, so I finished a hard day well lol. Igorrr is one of my favorite bands. It made me realize that I usually post chill music on my blog, but many of my favorite bands aren't all that chill. So, today I wanted to go ahead and make a list of my (current) favorite bands, and put up some of my favorite videos from their music. The list is just what was on the top of my head -- I might come back and amend this blog if I think of other artists later.
I'm going to try to put these down in order, from most to least favorite band, and I'll put up a song that I like from each band. You should know, as you listen to some of these, that some bands I like for the mood, some for the tune, some for the lyrics, and some for the technicality and genius that they bring to their art (I mean, they don't each have all of those qualities). Here's the list:
1. Rivers and Robots. Starting with the best. I think this is my all time favorite band.
2. I.V. Connerly. His lyrics are really really good, and I can't argue with his flow either.
3. Flying Lotus. Some of their stuff is just garbage, but some of it is really really amazing. I guess it's all a matter of opinion, right? Maybe that's the way they want it.
4. The Chariot. These guys get me pumped every time.
5. Band of Horses. Didn't like them the first time I heard them, but then I couldn't get them out of my head. Now I keep them around.
6. Chopin. Is that old dog tray?
7. Chon. These guys do a great job with the essentials -- Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen.
8. Jars of Clay. Their self-titled album was really good. Where is more music like that?
9. Igorrr. Sometimes I get in the mood for this kind of stuff. Also, I think they might be geniuses.
10. Logic. He's really good, and I'm sold on the mission. (btw: this one is explicit)
11 (or some other prime number). Dillinger Escape Plan. I almost joined a mosh pit at a concert for these guys, but it wasn't what I expected. There were a few dudes in there just waving their arms around, but not hitting each other. If they were really hitting each other, I might have joined (that was my excuse anyway, and I stick with it to this day), but as it was I would have just been walking into a spinning fan (the puns though). I don't have enough angst to just wave my arms around like that if I'm not in a fight.
12. Renard Queenston (& friends?)..... guilty.
13. Covet. Yvette Young is really good at her instrument. Also she has a pretty good band behind her.
I'm sure I'll think of others later, and maybe rearrange some of these. I almost wish I didn't say I was gonna put them in order, because some of these numbers I'm really not sure about. I only really did that so that I could put Rivers&Robots on top -- I like them THAT much.
Alright. I think that's enough to chew on.
