The Aztext -definedTexts from A-Z,
Interpreting life
As Text
Whether or not you have ever heard of
the Aztext doesn't matter, because now you
have. I won't ever forgive you for reading even
the first sentence of this article and NOT listening to at least one of their songs or better yet,
go see one of their shows. From that point forward you may be the judge, there is no guarantee that anyone will like their music (that is
highly unlikely) but at least you will have given
it a chance. A tree will never have the chance
to grow if you never take the time to plant the
seed. And really, why wouldn't' you? Why
wouldn't you give as much local music a listen
as possible? The best stuff yet to come might
be right next door to you playing a live show on
your neighbors front lawn without you ever
knowing because your stuck inside watching
MTV or Americas Next Douche Bag.
I mean Sheeeit Grace Potter and Phish
were playing small shows and backwoods festivals for YEARS before they made it big. There
are too many people who wouldn't bother to
read those bands names on a flyer back when,
but are now willing to fork out $50 a ticket because they're big enough for the mainstream to
take seriously. Don't be one of those people...
those people are stupid. The only reason small
groups become big groups in the first place is
because of people like you reader. People who
take the time to read a publication like this to
guide them to new music. Your curiosity and interest drives this new music.
You search to see what is blazing
through the grassroots and then
hunt it down to get a taste of that
new new. And by "new new" of
course I mean undiscovered
bands, groups, and jams that are
innovative and may contain a
style yet unheard. That is where
true musical ingenuity occurs, and
that is why we listen. Anyways I
stray from the direction of my
point which is... if someone gives
you something new to listen to,
give it a fucking try.
Now you can rest assured
that I would never recommend
you listen to anything I my-self
don't enjoy like this video called "I
Make Records"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
cv1WMYsLXMg. I hope our taste
is similar but there really is no assurance of that. The fact I write a
hip-hop column and YOU are
reading it definitely improves our
chances though doesn't it? Yes,
yes it does.
