Reality BITES!

Okay, just a little break from all these incoherent ramblings! I’ve just got to say that Marty Casey (of the band Lovehammers) is just damn hot! He isn’t the best singer in the world, but even when he’s off-pitch and screamy, he sounds awesome.

Of all the rockers in Rockstar: INXS, he’s the only one who inspired me to find out more about the songs he’s sung. Like Pink Floyd’s "Wish You Were Here" (which I have listened to about 20 times in the past 3 days – Marty’s version of course) and The Killers’ "Mr. Brightside". It has made me wonder why I’ve never listened to these bands or why I’ve never really taken notice of this genre. Of course, a lot of great rock songs came out when I was much younger and had no appreciation of music. Then in my teens, the great rock bands were Nirvana and Pearl Jam, which were both just too loud for my Clair Marlo trained ears. Okay okay, I admit, I was too sentimental then (read: Chicago and Toto).

Nowadays I still love Pop and R&B, but I’ve also started to take notice of Rock. The Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls, Coldplay and other Alternative bands are looped on my player. Now if only I can pull off the Rock Glam look…
