keep it honest!

To me, a musician is someone who speaks from the heart. Someone you can connect to. This doesn't necesitate guitar heroics or hidden meaning beyond comprehension or perfection of a certain style; all I look for in music is honesty. Someone who's voice can ring in my head, a band that can make a room full of previously segregated and clique'd kids lose all barriers and for the half hour set, be best friends. A band that makes you wanna move. A sound that makes you wanna think. Contemplate. Thought or action provoking, it doesn't fucking matter; as long the musician is speaking or playing or breathing straight from the heart and I believe it, I am convinced. I love it. A howling voice can be the most beautiful thing in the world, if you know without a doubt that the howling is coming from a place that exists. Bare your soul on a six string, tap away your heart on the black keys, throw your agression and frustration in my face with a wall of distortion. Tell me why I should be a vegan in a thirty second blast of noise. Tell me why your parents suck. Say nothing. Trip me out with 7 minutes of sound, texture, soul. Anything. Inspire, and you have made music.
