Disco Horror

Astute readers of this blog, all four of them, have probably noticed that I don’t actually ever write about “music” in this blog, instead writing about “myself” and “how hot it is outside” and “fanfic about Sting” and then “posting an MP3″ and “lying to myself about how many people actually care.” This is partly because I am endlessly fascinated with myself and my experiences, and not so much with “music,” but it’s also because I don’t really bring anything to the table in the whole “music” department.

The truth is: I don’t know shit about shit. I took piano lessons in middle school, and can play nearly every key on the piano, and probably name nine or ten notes, including G-sharp and F-sharp, but I’m not really much of an expert. Sadly, just a few years ago I was going to Decembrists concerts, and (please don’t tell anyone) registering the domain name http://ibombatomically.com so I could write about “conscious” “hip” “hop.” So if you’re looking for in-depth analysis of house music or a complete list of disco references in the new Map of Africa CD, you should probably talk to someone who isn’t just listening to whatever music his parents hate the most.

But: besides the obviously great things about blogs, such as all the free sex, and having everyone recognize me, everywhere I go, there is a great thing about blogs: I don’t really need to have any clue what I am talking about. The even better thing is: no one actually reads these posts. I feel pretty confident that the half-dozen vultures that read this website with any kind of regularity mostly just download the MP3s I link to. Which is pretty sad, at first, until you realize it gives you this tiny amount of unlimited power to just say whatever you want. It’s like being the 3 a.m. DJ, or Glen Beck: whatever comes out of your mouth counts.

So: here’s another MP3–House of House’s remix of A Mountain of One’s “Bones.” I think this is “Deep House?” Or maybe “Dubstep”? Ha! Frankly, I am going to call it “UK Garage!” Because: who cares?!
