Things I’m worried I’ll lose when I leave college: my knowledge of bizarre and obscure music.
Along with sharing class notes, car rides and cookies (ok, I usually just steal cookies from my friends) one thing me and my college friends share constantly is music. Just this weekend we had a music swapping session: everyone brings their laptops and a flashdrive and we do some music exchanging. If you are a music junkie like me, it is like Christmas. I am constantly receiving new music and getting a new song stuck in my head.
Probably my favorite part about college music exchanges is getting introduced to music I would have never considered. While I’m still not sure I will ever be open enough to accept country, I am constantly surprised at the types of music I can get into. Just this weekend, while I was in Columbus, I was introduced to a new type of music called dubstep, a genre of electronic dance music. While I found most of it to be ridiculous, annoying and seizure inducing, I found that I could not get the song Cinema by Benny Bessani out of my head. Listen. Imagine dancing. No judging :)
My best find of the weekend? My new favorite blog, Cover Song Archive. The tagline is “Songs you know by artists you don’t.” Some of the song covers literally blow my mind. Check it out and be inspired!
