2008 retro: music
Jan. 4th, 2009 10:52 pmEverything is just for my personal year in music. I don't really keep up to speed with actual current music. Pretty much only things from 2008 I listened to was the disco, Fleet Foxes' White Winter Hymnal, 3 MGMT songs, and Taylor Swift. No particular order!
Top10 6 Albums
Guided By Voices - Under the Bushes, Under the Stars
psst! Ghosts of a Different Dream
The Langley Schools Music Project - Innocence and Despair
psst! Rhiannon
Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd.
psst! She's A Handsome Woman
Life Without Buildings - Any Other City
psst! Let's Get Out
Tegan and Sara - The Con
psst! Like O, Like H
The Pipettes - We Are the Pipettes
psst! Why Did You Stay?
I'd like to sincerely thank the disco for helping me not be embarrassed to like what I like. I'm not completely fearless about it, I am still all "whatever will people think!" sometimes, but that is because I am freakishly insecure and dependent on validation from other people, not because of any quel horreur nature of the disco. And the disco has seriously brought me so much love and joy and insanity, it feels wrong to be ashamed of it. (ALSO BDEN URIE IS A RADIANT STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION OF MY UNIVERSE.)
Wiff this, I realized that I was kind of a indie hipster snob about music in that I was hung up about what ~kind~ of person listens to what ~kind~ of music. I thought I had mostly let go of this but it turns out, not so much! I am still resisting actually LIKING Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance's music, but I kind of like both of their most recent stuff. They are the Borg, resistance is futile, etc. There are worse things to be than a Fall Out Boy fan. Hahaha that's so insulting, why am I being such a douchebag? I know I would be hella butthurt if I say someone say "I'm sure that liking the disco is not the complete end of the world" or whatever. Oh I don't know. I think I have to give up the idea of an objective good and an objective bad altogether. Why do I still have this idea anyway?? This entry is just BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M DUMB AS ROCKS. Well this whole lj is, but this post in particular.
