Pretentious weird shit April 19, 2006

Posted by admin in : Music , add a comment

Here’s a thing I’ve noticed. Way back when me and my friends made some of our songs, we obviously thought enough of ourselves and our songs to write them and record them and share them.

The some time passed, probably not very much time, and suddenly it all sounds funky, kind of horrible, pretentious, or sort of off, or mis-timed, or off-key or just “what was I thinking?’ or whatever. Cringe-worthy.

That phase lasts from about 5 minutes after you give the last copy you’re going to give anyone until you turn around 42.

Then you enter this new phase, where you can kind of appreciate and forgive your pretensions. It’s like, the crap is too far into the past to really hurt me now. My ideas about myself today are not really as easily threatened by my earlier ideas about myself then, so embarassing things are not as embarassing as they used to be. And it’s kind of cool we did all that weird shit. Weird shit is good shit, frankly. Pretentious weird shit is still better than no shit at all.
