Yeah, it's pretty hard not to be completely cynical these days.
I'm very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
Suburban houses and tin sheds are often the objects of ridicule.
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
So there's no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn't necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn't necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.
