By the way, How awesome is the Sun?

So...once every...I'd say 2 to 3 months, I get curious about what's happening in music. I'm not talking real music, I mean like...the Indie scene. I'll browse Pitchfork, take recomendation from various music blogs...sort of blindly...I usually haven't even heard of the bands that these others groups "sound like."(one thing I have learned is "sounds like the Pixies" is usually a negative thing). Anyway..I have the unfortunate disposition of being a singles guy, but also a huge fan of concept albums....so...I never know what to listen for. Again...I've lost my train of thought so I'll get to the meat of my story... I was dowloading songs based on snobby blogger recomendations and I noticed that the problem i have is not that the songs are bad. The songs are fine..really..I mean...they aren't bad at all and I commend the artists for making them...its just that...I can't see myself buying the album becasue...I really just can't see myself ever wanting to hear the song again, or any songs like it. You know how you usually buy an album becasue you heard a song that you could see your self playing a couple more times, and maybe in the context of other songs by the same artist? Well....I just don't see that with a lot of these new songs. I wanna say maybe its an age thing...but...I'm 22. Aren't these songs supposed to be geared towards me? I don't want to blame the artists becasue they're doing what the do. I'm just beginnig to feel more and more comfortable with the blanket statement, "I don't like new music." It's a real shame. I want my mind to be changed, desperately. By the way...there's this creepy billboard on the corner of Palms and Sepulveda...something about having a savings acct...but this guy is wearing a pig nose...think...costume design for the Alice In Wonderlad live action tv show from a few years back....and some guy is putting money in the top of his head...like...in his skull....it really creeps me out.

****UPDATE****

I found a picture of the creepy pig. Apparently it's name is Benjamin Bankes. I hate it. It's so fucking scary.
