Hey guys. It's been awhile, but as some of you know, i've been going through some serious stuff in my personal life and didn't want to post something else until I had the right mind.
I'm always listening to new music, and my listening path has taken a surprising turn recently. I've been listening to a lot of popular music as of late. Like pop and hip-hop and Kelly Clarkson for example. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it is really easy to listen to while doing other things. Most of those songs have a dope beat to step to, plus they usually have lots of bass, and I'm a sucker for bass. It is also partly because of my friends Cole and Ferranto, and a particular ride back to Missouri from Arkansas.
What I'm getting at is that there is this one group: 3oh!3, who are kind of an inspiration to me. Here's why: about a year ago, my friend Paul showed me a music video by the duo back before they really got famous, and it was just them making ridiculous hip-hop songs and having fun with people from their hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Now they are legit fo sho, with a decked-out possy, radio time nationwide, features on MTV, professional grade music videos, and over 50 million plays on myspace for their single, "Don't Trust Me." It just inspires a little hope that two guys who bust out funny hip-hop songs on their synthesizers can make it big. It kinda seems like they are living the dream to me.
