I want to do this too.
Musical influences have changed soo much over time...from the beach boys and chuck berry when I was little...to punk in high school, being all about sublime and the suicide machines, then moving to england and being subjected to atomic kitten, ronan keating and s club 7 (BTW i caught a Steps video at the gym yesterday. What crap. My dad loved them though - he has their greatest hits.)
For my high school graduation party, I asked everyone to just buy me CDs...(typical right)...I was totally excited when I got the Doors, Credence Clearwater Revival, Steve Miller Band, and some old Tom Petty...the families in the hall kept asking me "are these CDs for your parents? are you SUURE they're for you?"
The first winter I was in England, I was at a party at some rec hall when all of a sudden, some of the WORST music I've ever heard came on..instantly everyone ran onto the dance floor. I was like "what is this CRAP!?!" and someone goes "It's ABBA!" and started dancing again...I could not believe such horrid music could be created on purpose.
I would really love to create a soundtrack for my life. It would have a lot of like, jazz/punk, for lack of a better name...something along the lines of Hoobastank's "Can I Buy You a Drink", but mixed with Filabuster and their sublime tinge. (Has anyone ever heard Filabuster on here??)
I'm still impressed by anyone who can play an acoustic guitar, especially to take a great song and make it sound better acoustically. Slow it down, give it a different twist, and make it yours.
i was a HUGE Sublime fan. and i've heard Filabuster, cuz they were on Skunk Records WITH Sublime. the Ziggens were fun too. And if i could have a LIFE soundtrack? it'd be a collabo score by Danny Elfman and John Brion.
wow dude. i love the ziggens. surfin buena park is a favorite of mine. seriously great.
i feel so close to you, dan
also...brian...were you watching that guy (i forget his name) play guitar at sal's house?? playing that jazz/blues kinda stuff?? i was in awe
glad you feel so close to me, i can give you a hug later
rowr! that was Jesse Voucus. he's amazing at guitar. i love listening to him jam. he's all round nice guy too.
for the longest time i absolutely refused to acknowledge that "buy you a drink" was played by hoobastank. just didn't sound like them. then i accepted it and grew to like them.
