ABOUT THIS BLOG.
This blog started as a joke between me and my intern colleagues at Celestica. Another department receives regular email blasts with departmental news about sometimes irrelevant topics. I would joke about making the same sort of emails for our own department and one day in my boredom I did. At the same time I had started on a journey of album exploration a couple months prior and had been both taking and giving album suggestions to my coworkers. It was the timely union of these two events that gave birth to this blog. To tell you the truth, it is still a bit of a joke as I only continue to make posts for my own entertainment but along the way others have found little enjoyment out of them as well.
MY PERSONAL STYLE.
I am often asked how I would describe my personal music style in order for people to give me song or album suggestions or to understand why I do or do not enjoy certain artists. Truthfully, I have no idea what my personal style is. For the sake of allowing my readers to understand my blogs I will try to sum it up in a few sentences as well as provide a few favourites. I will start by saying that even though there are some songs or styles of music that I personally wouldn’t gravitate towards, I can appreciate that sometimes music is catered to a very specific demographic and I find most sound styles to be tolerable at the very least. In terms of music that I actually do like, anything that I can ‘car-dance’ to is usually a hit for me (not to be confused with dance music, which falls in the tolerable category). I also enjoy songs that I can belt out off-pitch in my car. Lately, I have found myself enjoying quite a bit of artists from the alternative category but my staples are pop and hip/hop. I know, basic (sigh). Artists which I most consistently love or take up the highest song counts on my playlists are Drake and Lorde. There are many artists which come secondary such as NF, Kings Kaleidescope, Sam Smith but Drake and Lorde are people that I could listen to every day and not get tired of them whereas a few straight days of Sam Smith would quickly send me on a brief hiatus from his music.
