M*** F***** Advanced Writing Musical Consideration2001
If all of the cds in the world were to disappear, I hope one cd would remain withinthe rubble of such a disastrous musical tragedy. This situation actually happened on amuch smaller level, to none other than yours truly. As I sat at the Thanksgiving tablewith my family, I could not help but begin to slip into the holiday mode of cheer andgood spirits. As I helped myself to some more turkey and mashed potatoes, some dumbselfish motherfucker was helping himself to my cd collection. When I returned to schoolall three hundred of my cds were gone, leaving the seven or eight I had with me in thecar. I usually bring all of them home with me, but I was very drunk the night before andso hung over the next morning that I forgot them. How stupid of me.However, I was grateful that the dirty shit-eating heathen didn’t get his grubbyshit smelling hands on one particular cd for which I have come to realize as the cd that Icould listen to forever. If ever stranded on an island in total isolation I would only needtwo things, a solar powered cd player and this one cd that I speak of. Is this the greatestcd in the world? In the world of F*****…yes. In everyone else’s world…probably not.Stuck in my current predicament I could not indulge in my usually short attentionspan of listening pleasure. Without three hundred cds at my fingertips, I could not play jukebox to my own listening pleasures. Thus, I would have to deal with what I had. Mycd collection now consists of the following: Billy Breathes by Phish, Beastie BoysAnthology just the first disc, Jack Johnson, Dire Straights, Blues Traveler, Bare NakedLadies, System of a Down, and a bootleg Pearl Jam.
 
However, the one cd I have found a greater appreciation for is Weezer’s first cd,known as the blue cd. In high school, the two most popular songs were Buddy Holidayand The Sweater Song. A closer listen of this cd will reveal other songs and true piecesof art worth another look. Weezer is an interesting band. Their lead singer, River Cummos is a strange individual. He’s not crazy, although he rarely follows the regular social norms of celebrity-hood. It has been rumored that from time to time Rivers willoccasionally go into hiding and seclusion, separating him from the outside world.However, despite any weird social behaviors I believe Rivers creates music for the soul purpose of enjoyment and love that comes from musical composition. When Weezer firstcame out with that cd, it was different from anything else that was out there. Rivers hasthe unique ability of pouring out his feelings into a truly superb rhythmic lyricalexperience. At times Weezer could be labeled “emo”, as Rivers yearns desperately insong for understanding of things such as women, life and other human interactions. Emomeaning emotional, is a music term that describes music that creates a deep emotionalfeeling within the listener, kind of like country music only it does not suck. Emo usuallycontains lyrics of despair or great loss.Why should you listen to this cd? Because it’s not what everyone else is doing.Weezer is the only band that has made it cool to be a geek. If you have seen the band,they mostly dress like high school dorks who have spent most of their time shoved inlockers and arguing over who could fit more pens into their pocket protectors. I will haveto admit that in high school I was not the most popular kid in school. I did not talk verymuch and only had a close small group of friends. My friends and I didn’t drink and themost exciting thing to happen on the weekend comprised of us playing pool and watching
 
movies. I was not outgoing at all, and if I ever attend any high school reunions, many of my classmates probably would not even know who I am. Therefore, when I firstdiscovered Weezer, I idolized Rivers, who is one of the most influential individuals of mymusical aspirations. From then on, I was hooked, I wanted to be in a band and playguitar just like Rivers.This cd brings back many memories from my boring high school days for which Iregret to have realized the pure enjoyment of consuming alcoholic beverages. I willshare one embarrassing moment that often occurred while listening to this cd. Whenlistening to Weezer and watching them on MTV, which back then actually played musicvideos, I would dream of being a front man making my own music videos and playingshows for the masses. While I listened to the Weezer album I would use my father’s oldguitar (a vintage Norma) to imitate Rivers. My dad gave me the guitar after I showedinterest in learning to play. It didn’t even have a guitar strap so I fashioned one out of speaker wire. Remembering that these were pre-beer days, I would set up a mirror on my bed and “jam” out on my guitar while lip-syncing and pretending to be Rivers. It was pretty pathetic but hey, it was cool to be a dork. I never did learn how to play the guitar and to this day I cannot sing to save my life, but my experience with Weezer lead to mynext love of playing drums.Through the devastating loss of my musical collection, which was as essential tome as food or water, I have found something to replace my pain and begin the healing process. Listening to this cd repeatedly brings back the same feelings of desire andlonging I experienced when wanting to be in a band. I have rediscovered the very cd for which I credit my self taught musical talent of playing the drums. I encourage everyone

I don't think you fared too badly in terms of the quality of your remaining DVD's.
