In an era of narrow viewpoints, wannabee Paris Hilton's and The Jersey Shore, where the most popular singers talk about "brushing your teeth with a bottle of jack," where we have more degrees, but less sense of life, where we've forgotten how to laugh, but know how to send a text message, we've lost the real shit in life that reminds us how to breathe. I had to keep my sanity somewhere, so here it is: The Real Shit. A blog with REAL music, inspiration, and advice.
For all you indie lovers out there, say hello to Broken Bells. What I love most about this American indie rock band is that each of their songs are unique and has it's own sound. It is hard to come across bands like that anymore. The High Road, The Ghost Inside, and October are three of my favorite songs. Click below to listen.
Big Boi's new solo album "Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors" will be released on December 11, 2012. I've been able to get a little sneak peek of this album, and all I have to say is: pure gold. Previous member of OutKast, Big Boi, is one of the few rappers today that I still listen to. Make sure to get his new album next week..you won't regret it. Check out the song above:
So my computer fell off my sink a few nights ago, which caused my hard-drive to completely crash. It wouldn't have been too big of a deal other than I lost a 15 page paper due the next day. I had a major panic attack and wallowed in my own self pity for awhile, but then I realized I had to get over it. My fault for having my $1200 laptop sitting on the side of my sink while getting ready. It's life. For awhile I thought my life was over. I lost all my music, all my documents, everything. Then I realized something: If the worst thing to happen to me this year is having my hard-drive crash, I'm a very lucky person with a lot to be thankful for. So you know what I did? Sat my ass down in the library, put on my head phones and re-wrote my paper. I discovered these 4 songs in the process, and have to say, they made rewriting that paper a whole lot easier. Hope they bring you as much joy as they brought me. Happy finals week yall.
