If I ravished your mind

Today Amanda blogged about singing whilst driving, and how it can lead to a momentary bond with a stranger. Not ten minutes before reading her blog entry, did I have the exact same experience of my own.
Unlike Amanda, I wasn’t listening to Justin Timberlake / Madonna. I was listening to Avenged Sevenfold. I wasn’t listening to Beast and the Harlot this time (for once!) I was listening to “Scream”. This is a rather loud, stomping song (hence why I love it) with heavy connotations in the lyrics.
I was driving through my high street with my music thumping in my car (and yes, I did feel like a chav) and it was hot so I had the windows open slightly. I pulled up at some traffic lights as a group of school children crossed. I was completely lost in the music and didn’t realise that they could hear me.
When I noticed that the group of teenagers were looking at me and smiling, I realised that they could in fact hear the song that I was listening to. I smiled back and for the few seconds it took for them to cross the road (and for Avenged Sevenfold to belt out “Scream, scream, scream, like you would if I ravished your body. Scream, scream, scream, like you would if I ravished your mind.”) we were friends.
Oh how I love my town sometimes.

Confession time

When it comes to music and music fans, I’m generally called “emo”. I don’t consider myself to be emo, though, but I’m not going to go off on my high horse and list all the reasons why I’m not emo. Many of the bands I listen to can be found in the “metal” section of the music stores, but here are some exceptions…
I love this guy. I’m taking my Aunty to see him on the 4th of December and I can’t wait! Like many of my favourite musicians, he’s Canadian, and he’s been known to describe himself as a “gangster crooner” because when he was in school, all his friends were listening to Dr Dre whereas he preferred the Rat Pack. He’s gorgeous, funny, and talented. I love him.
I only know one song (”Potential Breakup Song”) by these two sisters, but it’s so incredibly catchy that I find myself listening to it on repeat. They’re about as harmless an un-emo as you can get, and they sit quite happily on my iPod next to Avenged Sevenfold. As far as I’m aware, Aly & AJ haven’t toured the UK yet, but when they do, you can bet anything I’ll be going.
Justin was always my second favourite one from *NSync, the first being JC Chasez. However, JC seems to have disappeared, which leaves us with dear old Justin. Like Michael Buble, he’s gorgeous, funny, and talented. I saw him live in July and he puts on an amazing show. He sang, he danced, he played at least two different instruments, and he managed to work a crowd of seventeen thousand people from a circular revolving stage. If that’s not talent, I don’t know what is.
Six gorgeous ladies who sing, dance, and do more for female empowerment than the Spice Girls ever did. Well, that’s my opinion at least. The Pussycat Dolls dress completely inappropriately for their younger fans, but fortunately I’m too old to be in that group. I like them more for their songs and dance ability rather than their outfits anyway. And I’ve seen them live!
