lipslikecherries Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think people generally have little passion for anything. Music suffers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekfreak Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 well hmm its the sorry full state of all the passion of life is maybe, more to the point. I`ve been in the used record store`s most of the time its me the only one in the greatest children playground, ooh yes its the stuff dreams are made of when you find a lost gem vinyl holding it in your hands and looking at the artwork reading the notes of the music. ok there are some great artist who`s artwork is outstanding work, many are household names now. is there any better feeling than the vinyl mode... oh in my world MUSIC is KING... how can you not get over welling amazing passion for music its well its just the magical trip along with the musicians whom created the magical hip trip wow we. is there a better way to find your inner child maybe or maybe not hearing anything at all. maybe its me but I`ve always been a musical JUNKIE. I`ve possible been out buying most of the formats vinyl, cassettes, 8track, cd, dvd and cd-r. some now no longer being used, 8track cassettes being one of them.... I was having a heated chat about the `80`s so called new wave of british heavy metal (N.W.O.B.H.M) which was the bands like maiden, saxon, venom, lappard ect. which is only the start of it I was a sort of follower in that I`ve gotten albums by iron maiden, saxon, venom and a few of the lesser now ones too!. well the heat bit was when it was said it was crap! LOL. ok lets see if it gets the same hmm ?????. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 If you want to get into something to compliment your music collecting, I highly recommend buying autobiographies of various artists and also biographies written by friends of the artists because it gives you a bit of insight into what motivates them as individuals and how they come up with the songs, album cover ideas, live presentation and so on. Combine the internet with used book stores and you can find all sorts of gems out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Here is another one related to music: Has anyone else noticed that the various news print publications (newspapers & magazines Rolling Stone is a big one with this) will describe Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones as being 'relevant at one moment but such and a such a band’s time has passed' - but when it comes to solo musicians like Bob Geldof, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen that they never seem to have an expiry date in the eyes of the critics or even the late night talking heads on tv. Robert Plant is the perfect example of that, I read a lot of “Led Zeppelin” would be a dinosaur type of commentary today, but Robert Plant is celebrated as being artistic and encouraged to play on and record forever. For a reason which I can’t explain, the concept of a band is not given the same lenience as a solo artist. I wonder if perhaps the critics are just pissed off that critic so and so wanted to be a Bob Geldof or Bob Dylan type of persona and shit on anyone who is in an active band because the critic never made it as solo musician. I hear lot FM Radio DJ's shit on bands but give all kinds of praise to solo acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I'm too passionate about my music and it bugs me that so few people care about music, or go to used record stores these days. Plenty of passion here and given the crowds I have to deal with at the record shops and swap meets, I wouldn't mind a little less passion. At least when I'm trying to score a good deal on a record.

geekfreak Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 hmm its good to have plenty of passion around the record stores, whom would wish for anything less as its the music where all on this forum for. where all full of passion for ZEPPELIN, I mean its great when I listen to my nephews talking about there newest album which is give or take 30+ yrs old, as the two young men and I are close here and there one or ? of my albums they have in there collections now Zep, Doors, Beatles `n` Stones ect, but they are now starting to find there own styles too. oh I am the solitary man, is it wrong to talk to myself even when there`s nobody else, I`m just checking out I`m not going crazy so I`ll read some mindless crap thinking this would bring me back, my ideals, sanity seem to be leaving me, I`ll just watch the clouds racing away or cast shadows to all the broken angels trying to choice the right path oh to be a geek, fat boy, freak, loner, wall flower or billy no mates. where`s the: "bullet proof poet" whenever you need one. just in case you would like to now whom are the "BPP" to geekfreak there novelists whom only write facts and call it as it is, there is also a few frontmen whom I`d add to my list to Fish, Tyla and the blues maters too!. I`m a little fucking pissed right off, so I`ll better change the topic... is there a 15th/16th centuries "RENAISSANCE" geek like myself out there. I`ll add the fact that I`ve always viewed architecture/art as being whole both are electric, moving the viewer into the mass of sheer over the top passion I`ve spent many hours looking at painting and architecture within my location and around the world on my holiday trips, even Mrs GF cannot see when I`ve sat and look at the same piece of art work for over an hour or more but its the time the artist as put into his work, I should take the time to look at the detail he as done. maybe you well agree with me or not, mind you possible may choice to wonder why I`m going back to the music ? ok, I`m a big fan of the band Dog`s Damour there a to me a cool rock `n` roll band soaked in booze, drugs and women within there lives the title from album`s of the band sums them up just right " in the dynamite jet saloon, a graveyard full of empty bottles, more uncharted heights of disgrace " now there cool titles for the albums the art work is by vocals guitarist Tyla. well not the first one jet saloon, that's four photo`s of the guys, sadly they never really hit the big time but there still my fav band... I`ll possible be up lifted tomorrow as no work so fingers crossed plenty of music, reading till bedtime LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm seriously thinking of putting together a photo exhibit which will have 60 of my best photographs on display each one in a framed 16 by 20 size. Planning on doing this at Fishermen's Cove if I can convince them to give me a space for 2 weeks. And have it run from 5 PM to 7:30 PM. With my work related travels with my last 2 employers, I always brought my camera with me instead of sitting around a fucking hotel room all evening and night with nothing to do and passed the time taking pictures. It's an idea I have had for about a week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 13 days from now I become one year older, and though when I was younger I hated the idea of aging, I've accepting that from this year going forward I will continue to find new white pubic hairs growing on me - fuck this aging and me don't go well together. The coming 12 months I plan to crank up my physical activity level and show a few of the younger guys I can still do it on the double black diamond and glade runs. I'm not about to let my son surpass me just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi geekfreak! I love soul music but I have never given Slayer or Anthrax much attention. Do you recommend some songs for me to listen to? I love your contributions to the forum. I've been so busy with school starting up again I have very little time to talk on the forum. I do more reading these days and I love to read your posts. I hope you're doing well. I have thought of new topics but I have been neglecting the ones which i have already started! I hope to find more time soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 This week, I was able to source million of liters of fuel, tomorrow morning people are going to wake up and climb in their sports car or 4x4 truck and not give it any thought that its guys in the energy industry that make life so easy for everyone. Someone is going to wake up, and put clothes on that was made with energy. Someone is going to make breakfast on the cooking range and not think of the work that was involved sourcing that fuel. Someone is going to go on vacation and not given it any thought where the jet fuel comes from. Next week, I'm on a plane and in a hotel and the cycle repeats itself. Can you imagine starting out, being asked as a young man out of school if you would like to travel to some shit hole country as a bagman working out energy deals greasing palms all so people can wake up and not notice how much they use energy in everyday life? All the while not thinking that someone could pull a gun on you or kidnap you because they think you represent the big satan, yet they still want the money passing through there hands in exchange for the oil or the natural gas you source? Life is weird sometimes which is why I love music so much, it's a form of escapism and probably the big reason why I dislike Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen music because deep down inside I know they are hypocrites. I guess I get to do what I'm good at which is source energy and grease palms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geekfreak seems pretty cool, it's good he has a place to blow off steam and just let his inner thoughts out from to time. Music for him seems to have given him a purpose from all life's distractions.
