Gym Class Heroes - The Quilt
Up until about my mid twenties i used to love writing. I'd write pages and pages of stuff whenever i could about nothing in particular, just because i felt i had to put words on paper so i never lost whatever it was that was in my head. I'd fill up note books, diaries, spend hours typing on computers about random thoughts, ideas, musings pretty much anything that came into my little brain. And then suddenly it stopped. As if a tap that was flowing had just been turned off, i literally could no longer write. Every time i put pen to paper or finger to keyboard it just felt wrong. I hated every single word that i wrote. I struggled to even read words back without feeling sick. I could no longer construct a sentence that i was happy with so i just gave up. And it's been that way ever since. So for what bizarre reason i decided that writing a daily blog was a good idea i do not know. But now that i'm seven days in i have to admit that whilst it seems near impossible that i will keep this up for a whole year, i'm prepared to try. What this means however is that i have to write something everyday no matter how i'm feeling or how little i have to say about the album i've listened to. I don't like the sort of music Gym Class Heroes make. I don't know what led me to believe i would. Their style is 'Alternative Hip Hop', pioneered by such artists as De La Soul, Busta Ryhmes and Disposable heroes of hiphoprisy ( Busta makes a guest appearance on the Gym Class Heroes album ) and while i appreciate some of this stuff from the late 80's and mid 90's i find myself easily bored with it now. I mean i'll listen to it, i don't find it offensive like i would say Sonia Dada or Fall out Boy, but when you find the music so uninspiring that you can't think a a single thing to write about it? move on, bring on the next one...
