Let the good times roll

When someone asks me what type of music I like, I used to be hesitant to answer.  The reason I was hesitant to answer was because although I found myself going to mostly jam band and funk concerts, I would listen to such a wide variety of music genres. I soon realized I did not have to have a genre of music I liked to listen to. Instead my answer to the question is now simply "anything that sounds good to my ear."

If you even look within a genre of music, it has either changed, progressed, or sadly almost become extinct.  To me an artist has only truly suceeded when they are able to be progressive and innovative and not constraint themselves to one genre. There should be no boundaries between music genres or generations. I once got my grandma a picture frame that said "Grandparents are there to teach us about to past so we can learn about the present." I believe that this quote relates to what artists of this generation should take from the 'grandparents' of music. A perfect example is the American electronic music artist, Derek Vincent Smith, who is better known as Pretty Lights. The "Finally Moving Remix" that is from the album "Filling up the skies" uses a sample from Etta James' "Something's Gotta Hold of Me."  Derek Vincent Smith was able to take the soulful voice of Etta James and turn it into a timeless electronic jam.

Sadly, I recently overheard a conversation that two young men were having, when one man said to the other "Yo dude, did you hear Flo Rida's new song "Good Feeling" that samples Avicii's song "Levels," its so dope."  I do not have anything against some mainstream music, but I do have a problem with people who do not understand levels (no, I am not talking about the amount of times Avicii drops the beat) of music.  Music is complex and has only reached its current potential thanks to past artists, and artists such as the great Etta James should not go unnoticed.  I am here to take you on a musical voyage through out time so you too can seize the day and listen to tunes that you will end up playing on repeat, I PROMISE!
