Diving into Sonic Youth

I listen to almost any kind of music you can imagine. If you recommend something to me, no matter what kind of misgivings I might have at first, I'll give it a listen. However, there are some bands I've avoided listening to because the person who recommended them to me was a prick. I hate to sound so shallow but people can ruin bands for me even if said band is undisputedly excellent. I won't reveal the name of this person but he ruined any chance of me getting into Sonic Youth at an earlier age because he was a giant, self-righteous, pedantic, music snob. I've since started talking to him again in an effort to make sure old wounds don't fester but back in the day he was a colossal jerk.

Since that time, I've experienced and loved lots of other sort of underground bands with huge cult followings such as Joy Division and Suicide and now I know that just because hipster pricks like the band doesn't necessarily mean that a band is overrated. Leaving my musical baggage behind, I've started to listen to Sonic Youth for the first time and am really enjoying their music. I don't know why, other than the stigma I've already explained, why I'd hate them. I've listened to plenty of other noise-rock and shoe-gaze by now and am pretty accustomed to that sound. I feel like I'm ready to listen and in the coming weeks will try and review something of theirs.

Perez Hilton makes me lmao roflcopter lolololol

Has anyone actually read this guy's blog? What a tragedy that he's been so successful. I've known about him for a long and time and heard his bigoted rants about Miss California and I was secretly pretty elated that will.i.am knocked Perez off his sparkly high horse with a well timed punch to the face but I've never actually taken the time to read his famous blog, before tonight.

Well even for a lowlife, Hollywood, media-whore, I was pretty disappointed by this blog.
He writes like a thirteen year old girl, for crying out loud. Just my two cents.
