I love a lot of different things about the people I work with at Capitol, but mostly it is their sheer love and passion for music. The girl I work under has a great ear for REAL music and performances. The other day we were talking about the new Coldplay album "Mylo Xyloto," and I mentioned how I love Coldplays older albums and how it has more of a raw feel to it. She showed me a video of the lead singer of Coldplay at The Hollywood Bowl singing the legendary song "You Got To Fight, For Your Right (To Party) by The Beastie Boys." This is a cover I get chills listening to every time I hear it. Just a beautiful tribute to another band that will forever be one of the greatest. The Beastie Boys are a band that almost everyone can relate to point in their life. The time of rebellion and sneaking cheap beer from your parents. The time of innocence, being young, and making mistakes. "Your pops caught you smoking and he said no way, ah that hypocrite smokes two packs a day. Man living at home is such a drag. Now your mom through away your best porno mag." As we get older, I hope we can all remember these times in our adolescent years, and always keep a part of that with us. You got to fight for your right, to party. Happy Wednesday everyone. Enjoy this beautiful video.
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.
