what the fuck am i doing

 

    Hello again internet, haven't posted in a while because nothing worthwhile happened in my life in this mean time. Everything seems the same, like nothing has changed since four or so months ago. That's because of my failure to fight procrastination. It's much easier to wait for a miracle then to try to step up and do something yourself, i guess i always find an excuse to do just that. And this time is my possible immigration to Canada for my university studies.

Anyway, enough of my useless self pity.

Three weeks ago i was browsing a certain persons twitter, and i found a song that really caught my attention. That song was "Goodbye" from the Japanese band Toe.

    Toe's style is described both as "Post-Rock" and "Math Rock" everywhere i looked online. This is something really new to me, because never once in my life i have been so obsessed with rock music. Doing some research, I think I'm particularly draw to this band because of the "Math Rock" aspect. Complex rhythms, odd time signatures, and a emphasis on the drums really caught my ears, as me being a drummer myself. Toe's drummers is amazing, and the beats they use for their songs are the beats that i hear in my mind that i always dreamed of playing, but couldn't physically realized it myself in the drums. ( due to lack of practice ).
    Other factors for me liking this particular band is the simple yet effective use of minimalist melodies, the fact that most of their songs are instrumental only, i could for much longer citing things that i like about them. Their live performances are incredible, they put so much energy into playing, and often much better then their studio recordings counterparts.

I will leave a video of my favorite performance of "Goodbye" and a download link for their "CUT_DVD" album, which is a recording of one of their tours.
