I spend what can only be described as an obscene amount of time listening to music. So, to convince myself that all that time hasn't been a complete waste, I've made a blog to share some musical knowledge I've gained over the years. Thank you for being interested/bored enough to bother reading this, and hopefully, you'll learn a bit and discover some good new music.
First, a bit about the blog name so you don't think it's complete retarded. It's just an amalgamation of two song names, "Champagne Supernova" by Oasis and "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve (both absolutely classic britpop tracks, BTW). It doesn't really mean anything, but it rolls off the tongue well. Also, more importantly, it conjures up the lovely image of a melodious, alcoholic explosion of musical joy, and I sorta like that.
Now a bit about my general music philosophy, illustrated by one of my favorite musical quote, courtesy of Lil Wayne, off of the song Shooter:
But this is Southern face it,
If we too simple then y'all don't get the basics.
Basically, stop worrying about all the complicated shit. I've heard of people liking artists solely for their technical proficiency (Hi Rush!), but then, those people aren't really enjoying the music. Music isn't an intellectual pursuit. It's supposed to be emotional. If you stop feeling the music and start analyzing the chord progression, the quality of the lyrics, and the complexity of the guitar technique, you've completely missed the point. I like music that sounds good. Period.
tl;dr: I formed a band! Oh, no, dammit, I just made blog. *sigh* This isn't nearly as glamorous. This isn't gonna get me any bitches. Maybe i should write some songs instead.
