Jedi Mind TricksI've had many crushes in my young life; I've even been in love a few times; however, I've reached a point where I've lost that tingle in my trousers.
When I was in high school I had a lot of false alarms. I was quick to say "I love you", but did so without even really knowing what true love was. I flung that love out to whatever was hot and on the radio willing to put out.
I graduated to college, where I found my first TRUE love: Underground Hip-Hop. A bit of Blue Scholars, a dabble of Sweatshop Union, some Jedi Mind Tricks. I started doing things like making mixed CDs for them--that's when you know you're caught up.
This was a long-standing relationship, one that I still haven't put behind me. We continued to age and grow together. I added Atmosphere, MF DOOM, Common, Living Legends, and so on and so forth. At some point, I needed something new.
Like any good Bro Namath in college, I let Jack Johnson dote on me. How else could me and my fellow Bro-do Baggins's get down, while playing Halo and trying to get girls naked? Like all relationships rooted in sex, this one saw its fair share of problems... It became more of a niche- a hit it and quit it, if you will- good for rainy days, studying, and impressing girls. I needed more inspiration.
Enter: The Black Keys. This was the party girl, dancing on a table top, grabbing everyone's attention with her boisterous personality. How could you not like her? Yeah, she's loud; maybe slightly obnoxious to some; but, she pulled me in like no other. It was something different than I'd ever felt before. She opened my eyes to entirely new genres.
Lately, The Black Keys- along with other garage, blues, honey-drip vocals, alt rock groups- have been constantly on my mind. White Stripes, Heartless Bastards, Raconteurs. Somewhere, though, in a small crevice in the curls of my brain, is a thought. A thought that it's possible I could stray; I could find something on the side that will give me butterflies in my stomach like when I was a kid; something that will give me that wet-my-pants joy.
I need help though. That is why I've made this want ad. I need an artist or group that I can fall in love with. I'm not looking for one or two tracks; I'm not even looking for one or two albums; I'm looking for a band with an ENTIRE CATALOG that is worth cop[ping/ulating]. I want something lip-biting, cum-in-my-pants good.
Look, I'll always love you, baby, but it's time to find something new to reinvigorate my life.
Can you be that group? [Please, let me know!!!]
