In Case You Were Wondering...

I just wanted to let you know that my swell genius of a dad came up with a most charming idea! All our opinion posts shall now be consolidated into one, so that our loyal readers will be less confused. Just go's to show-our readers are our first priority.


Sincerely,
Max "The Son"



P.S. doesn't that name makes me sound like an old-time gangster?

More like "Fail of Heartaches"

If anybody besides my father told me this was a beautiful, five star worthy, song, I'd be quite tempted to spit in their eye and tell them how wrong they were, possibly even having to resort to profane language. But because this was my dad making this insane statement, I'll have to settle with a mere angry word or two (or 100).
First of all, this is the type of song that a blue collar working man would listen to whilst driving in his 1990's, American made, style pick up truck with a cheesy, overly patriotic flag decal on the back window. That same person probably listens to the Glen Beck show, and the all country all the time station that nobody seems to like. Some would say that this song shows great raw emotion, but personally, the voice to me sounds like she just stepped on a pin, and is in great pain. In my eyes, this song would be luck to even get two stars.

P.S. and it is very much so cowboy music. I mean, come on! Look at the album cover


HE'S WEARING A COWBOY HAT! Does that not signify what type of music this is?

Trail of Broken Hearts by k.d. lang

R:

In the spirit of our new blog, I put the old iPod (well, in may case the new iPad) on shuffle and it came up with (drumroll please) Trail of Broken Hearts by k.d. lang (yes, she writes her name in all lower case). I was sooo glad it picked a song I like. Of course, I should like all the songs on my own iPad, but the truth is, I have a lot of experimental stuff from Paste Magazine and other sources that I try to keep up with, but there are, admittedly, a few clunkers there.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs (★★★★★). I think that k.d. lang has one of the most soulful, beautiful voices on the planet. I know my blog partner will call it "cowboy music", but it melts my heart every time I listen to it. The song comes from the "Absolute Torch and Twang" album that was released in 1989, which is by far her best, in my humble opinion.

Fire away Max.

What We are

First of all, hello currently non-existent followers. I thought I should start out this blog by saying what we're gonna be writing about. You have most likely in your life disagreed with somebodies music taste, at least some time in your life, and maybe even had a little discussion about it. Well, that's what me and my dad do almost everyday of our lives, and the conversations get pretty intense if I do say so myself. So I thought I may as well post them on here for all the world to see. Who knows, we might even get a couple followers, and eventually get a movie about us made. That would be intense....Any how, thanks for reading this, and I'll start posting ASAP.
