Okay, okay, I get it. I'll stop solving your weird, weird problems. Really, why do you come to me with some of this stuff? There are plenty of specialists out there. On with the show!
So I just realized/found out the other day that this song is from the 90s.
I really really really really really really shoulda figured. Simple chorus? Fuck ja. Bouncy/upbeat-as-shit (depends on the shit, I guess), obviously-poppy yet unobnoxious melodies? Check, check, microphone check.
Also look at this fucking guy.
I think he literally exploded after Y2K due to the sudden lack of 90s in our atmosphere. He looks if Ben Harper had a kid with Chris Cornell and then that kid somehow produced a child with both Zack de la Rocha and Ziggy Marley at the same time, possibly through Satanic ritual.
Secretly the most br00tal.
Well, I should probably get on with the rather disturbing announcements. Disturbing to all like, five of you that read this. If my former classmates even read this anymore.
This is me. This is how sad you make me if you stop reading.
I'm by no means walking away from this blog. I don't even think I'm going to slow down on it much, if at all. But there will be changes.
For instance, change numero uno: This blog will eventually stop being about the 90s. Entirely. I mean, except for whenever I reference anything that happens to come from the 90s. Okay, rephrase: this will stop being a 90s music blog, if you know what I mean. Don't gimme that look. Oh come on. Really? With the tears? I... I mean, I'm flattered, but...
Look, it won't be immediate, okay? I'll still do posts about music every so often, and I'll stick with the 90s for a while. I just feel like such posts have gotten stale recently, and though that's largely my fault, I'm probably not putting in the effort that I could be, I also feel like it's hard to keep writing about this kind of stuff without falling into a rut of "Hai gaiz lookaddis; iz cool? hear is wut i tink of it".
So what the hell will be up here instead of random diatribes on whatever 90s act I can think of that day? A few ideas:
One, there will eventually/primarily be posts about random shit in my life. YES, I know this has been done before. Probably done better than I can do for a while before I really fall into a style (not that I'm changing my style; it'll still be me just less... opinion/nostalgia-driven, or something?). Books of Adam, Hyperbole and a Half, things like that. Will I be posting silly art to illustrate my stories as well? Possibly. Hopefully. If I can get back into drawing again and whatnot. So yes, I will be ripping off that exact same style of blog. Sorry. My reasoning for this? Well, I'm first and foremost a writer, a storyteller, not a... music-opinion person. There's gotta be a better word for that. Anyways. This way, I can be waaaaayyyy more diverse in my content. Not sure why I'm rationalizing this; who the hell's even gonna be pissed off by any of this?
Now for the original touches!
Not getting rid of One-Hit-Wonder Wednesdays. And hopefully I'll actually remember to write/publish them from time to time. So there's that!
What I hope to have as another established feature: Flash Fiction Friday. This is where I sit down and give myself an hour-long window to crank out a story. This will probably go horribly. At least for a while. But flash fiction's fun as shit (again, kinda depends on the shit) and great practice for the budding writer. And though I've been at this a while, I'm still not even a year into really getting serious about it, so... yeah, I'd still call myself "budding". That sounds... weirdly sexual. I'm gonna stop talking about buds now. Brrrr.
Also, I've recently formed a band and will probably be whoring it on here a LOT. Sorry in advance. But not yet, because uh... we kind of don't have a name yet. We have songs... but no name. I... I don't know either.
Here's to a bright new future!
PS: I'll probably repost these announcements later on, separate from anything Eagle-Eye-Cherry-related. That way when any new readers see this blog's metamorphosis of biblical proportions and they're inevitably like 'wtf bro?', they can simply refer back to said announcements-only post and be enlightened.
