A Brief History of Me

I'll start with the first song I was ever obsessed with, Elvira. I named my dog after this song. I thought that low voiced guy was a laugh riot.

And my obsession as a kid (a super idiotic choice for a kid) was Prince. Purple Rain came out in 1984. I was 5. I heard his songs on the radio and I just loved them so much! I would blast it on the radio at home. My dad would sometimes get mad at me for listening to him. I didn't understand why at the time, I am pretty sure I do now though. 


DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince just got me.

In Elementary School I was all about New Kids. Hard core fan. Listening to them is still A LOT of fun.

Now here's where my music started to become a real obsession for me. The following are all artists I was hardcore into throughout my time on this planet. There are more, but these are standing out right now and that's when I'm writing this post. 

Then I fell hardcore obsessed with Nirvana.

I bought Apocalypose 91...The Enemy Strikes Black. I loved it so much I had to buy their older albums. 


Then Headbangers Ball started and there was this cool dude drawing pictures all over the set. Rob Zombie! White Zombie obsession, ahoy! I tried copying his drawings all over my garage floor in chalk. I thought then and still think he's an amazing artist and he seems so nice. I think we should be friends.

Then Metallica. My parents both attended Metallic concerts with me. You can listen HERE. They became weirdos about music piracy, that's probably why I can't embed it. 

Then my Dad took me to Pink Floyd! 
Whew. After listening to the rest of my list that was a much needed couple minutes of calming down. 

I listened to The Chronic like it was my job. 

Then I got a new job.  
I really love that job.


And Hole. Video can't be embedded, but I love it so I didn't want to choose another video. So watch it...if you want to. 



Then you just want to laugh. 

And Bounce Back

And go completely crazy in the best way ever.

Cursive.
