Ok, so now what?

Posted over 4 years ago
If you've found yourself here after taking Rawkiddo's advice, then welcome to you! And thanks so much for the warm reception so far - you guys are so sweet (is that normal around here?). I'm still learning the ropes, finding my voice, etc. but it's been fun so I guess I'll keep at it - see what happens.Despite my apparent classic rock leanings, I like a little bit of most things - but I do have a soft spot for Toronto indie rock. And I'm ashamed that I don't go to more shows, seeing as I live within a 10-minute bike ride of most venues in the city. Mid-year resolution, perhaps? There's so much amazing music in this city, I could listen to nothing but Toronto bands and be pretty much satisfied. Stay tuned, 'cause I'm sure I'll talk about some of 'em sooner or later (in fact, I already did, sorta - see The Bicycles post a few days back).As far as non-Toronto stuff goes, I'm anxiously awaiting Rilo Kiley's new album next month. God, I love that band. "Does He Love You?" off More Adventurous is one of those songs that can seriously brings me to tears. It's so ... tragic? Is that the right word? Whatever it is, it's so heart-wrenching, I love it. And I'm a sucker for strings.I'm hoping that I can expand my repertoire based on what I read/hear here. I've been feeling a little stagnant lately, so I can use a little inspiration. Looks like I came to the right place. Awesome.And here's a little sumpin' I find absolutely hilarious. Maybe you've seen it before (or some variation of it) but you can stand to see it again, I assure you:

  1. ZeppoNoir says OMG! That’s one deeply disturbing bit of video, and naturally I watch it right before I go to bed. I’m sure I’ll be having some weird dreams tonight…of a breakdancing Chucky most likely. KeeRyest!

  4. Cody B says The video is about drug usage and child abuse, What's not to like? A raw(k) recruit, huh. Welcome to MOG, DZ. All your first posts have been excellent.

  5. Cody B says Right, you asked a question.. "Ok, so now what?" I think it depends how much time you want to spend, but my first suggestion is to write a lot of comments on other peoples posts as well as putting up your own stuff.

  6. Lizziegreeneyes says *Debbie:* You will find you'll get slammed with all sorts of new bands/artists that you NEED to have after sauntering through the MOGosphere & seeing reviews or recommendations. & Cody B is absolutely brilliant in his suggestion: comment on some folks posts... it will get you more aquainted with all us Krazy Kats & keep coming with your posts too - short or long don't matter, just so long as it's what you want to say, you'll find plenty of ears/eyes to hear/see it :) Again, WELCOME _HOME_ !!!!! ;) Is it awful that I always think of an *_Oompa Loompa_* when I see this video ????? Must be all the _acid_. & I *haven't even cleaned my room* ;P

  14. Lizziegreeneyes says *Debbie:* you should know... Me & the Horse... (my ex-husband) he actually did have to down a 2nd bottle of vodka to say that... only thing is, they're those little mini bar vodkas - the man can't hold his liquor (that's why we're divorced). That & the fact that I don't ever remember the courtship, ring, marriage or honeymoon... that's not a marriage I am down with... sorry Horse ;P

  15. darmuzz says Hi Deb, I love the last Rilo Kiley album too. One of my first posts was about how I didn't "get" alt-country, but after listening to people like Jenny Lewis, Neko Case and Amy Millan, what is there not to get? I am a bit of a convert. Augusts even got me listening to Wilco and I thought that would never happen! But I have to tell you, I have a soft spot for harder bands like Billy Talent and Rise Against! I don't think I would survive in a big market like Toronto - too much choice and too limited funds - I would always be wailing about who I missed - so it's a good thing I live in a smaller centre.

  18. caliscrnwrtr says hey, welcome to MOG! i'm always pleased to find another Rilo Kiley fan. there can never be enough of us. oh, and since rawkkiddo mentioned you were Canadian, i thought i'd advise you to stay outta Moosejaw. my ex lives there and his hatred of me is quite famous. you have been warned! ;)

  19. debzeppelin says No worries Cali - I didn't have any plans to head to Moosejaw anytime soon! But thanks for the warning - and the welcome! Darmuzz - I always thought that I wasn't an alt-country girl either. I don't really seek it out much, but it seems like whenever I listen to some, turns out I really like it. Go figure. I can't work up the gumption to deal with Wilco though - it just seems to huge for me to break into. Lizzie and MatHIRIO - I'm sure you made a lovely couple ;)
