music, and lost.


So as i blog myself, which im have done much of, I am beginning to follow other blogs, music blogs, alternative culture blogs, cooking, food, etc. This post is about music. Recently I have been starting to like, what itunes labels as, indie electronic. I never thought that I would find myself listening to anything grouped in the electronic category. But im not one to deny liking something. So fuck it, I guess i like some electronica. My music tastes had been a bit stagnant for a while. But now through blogs I am able to introduce myself to new music and now my tastes are evolving again. I'm starting to enjoy really intricate music. It all started with Of Montreal. The songs have high energy and lots of parts. I feel like the music gives me what i want. I find myself wanting more from a song and then BAM there it is.

Next is LOST. Holy shit am I pumped. Im watching the last episode of last season now. I have so many questions, theories, and ideas. Polar Bears, Time travel, time space continuum, dharma, the incident, locke, jacob, man in black? Just so much i want answered and after watching the teaser on abc, only more questions arise. In the teaser we see events being undone. So did the bomb reset things, is julia dead, are they still in the past, what happens to the other ajira flight ppl. we see CHARLIE and CLAIRE!!! WHAT! so ppl are coming back to life? wtf? it seems like this ssn isnt gonna answer many questions but just wrap up the story line. I pray that i am wrong, but we will see. You would think that if the writers of lost needed more time to answer all the questions they could easily get it. And on a side note, the introduction of these new characters in the last season kinda pisses me off. but anyway.
Ok so there are a lot of questions, we know this but i wanna write about time space continuum theory. basically there are 2 things that the bomb could have done. prevent the incident or cause the incident. the easy answer is that it causes the incident and nothing changes and either the island send them back to their own time or they stay where they are. Here is what I think happens after watching the teaser. They do not prevent the incident and are not transported back to their own time. So they try to do the most good by preventing all the deaths that happened when they first crashed. Thats my best guess but even im not happy with it for so many reasons. I also think jacob wanted to be killed. I want to know how the egyptian mythology plays into all this. the statue of taweret, goddess of fertility. Is that jacob? Is the man in black Apep. Anyway, again i am fucking pumped for tuesday. I think it will go down as the best show on tv ever. once the season starts i need to go back and watch every episode again.

What do you think about electronic music? Are your music tastes evolving? Am I getting to into lost? Is it possible to get to into lost? Am I indulging to much in American culture luxuries before I'm to be cut off from it almost entirely?

  1. I am pretty much indifferent to just about any music genres outside of the ones I already like. Right now my music tastes are not evolving, as you know, I am fixated on Lady GaGa aka the love of my life.
    I cant believe that you like Lost...I still dont get that show, I wished you wrote about Heroes or Glee, something cooler than Lost.
    Also, you just graduated from college and you now have more free time than you had in the last couple of years, so obviously you need something to do. So watch tv, play video games or whatever else you want to do. I dont think it's overindulgent. Actually, I dont think you will miss American luxeries once you get to Asia. You will take a bit of time to adjust to the new surroundings but you will be surprised how easily you can give up certain amentities you have grown up with. For example, I love the fact that I have running water here in the US, but when I am in Nigeria, I am fine getting up everyday before 7am and fetching several gallons of water from the water hole which is a little more than a mile (one way) away from my uncle's house. It's just a matter of adapting to your enviroment. So keep playing your Call of Duty.
