And Now For Something Different…. Acoustic Series

January 12th, 2010 | By Malcolm Snax

“Music is what feelings sound like…”  This quote has been the driving force in the shift of my musical palette.  Nothing against rap or pop music but as I mature I’ve come to realize that these forms of expression don’t require much musical talent or integrity to execute in a semi acceptable manner.   Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can try their hand MC’ing or auto-tuning over their favorite instrumentals (I, too, am guilty).  Technology has created an influx of fly-by-nite “artists” that have helped  oversaturate their respective genres.   Sadly, between this and the fact that radio stations favor the BULL SH*T, it seems as though many people dont have a clue what music really is, nor do they care to find out.  So with that said, the “And Now For Something Different” segment will be dedicated to actual music… not that it wasn’t before but the approach will a bit more tactical.  To kick things off here a few examples off musicianship that may be familiar to your ears!  Enjoy!  #shoutout to Obadiah Parker, Juss Jef, Jennifer Chung and JR Aquino!
