However if one good thing has come from Kanye West it is this music video. Set in a rural farm town, two ‘brothers’ (Oldham and Galifianakis) mouth along to the words with a sluggish mid-western town gusto. Flashy club scenes are non-existant and the only females in this video are a group of milk churning maids.  Tune out Kanye’s idiot image flashing through your mind and pretend these words are really coming from Galifianakis. Also watch at the 3:40 mark when Oldham makes a tractor his love toy.

PS.

I just read Kanye West will be serving 50 hours of community service for beating a paparazzi photographer in an airport last year. I hope Kanye looks good in an orange jumpsuit.

I would never consider myself one to be well informed on the blog community. I’ve only ever written in a small ‘blogspot’ once or twice in my life and never have had the enthusiasm to keep it maintained.  In this lull of my own creative internet input I have turned to other blogs for entertainment and information. This is when I discovered what I’m calling the death of the modern day music blog.  It wasn’t always like this, at least I don’t believe so. The only way, and still the primary way I personally find out about bands seems to be out of date, mindless browsing Myspace pages, reading the local community arts paper, listening to every band on a record label I know I like, online and collage radio stations. I find this style of research to be almost extinct. Today it’s all music blogs, and the music blogs of today don’t tell you why something is good, the just tell you that it is. ‘Listen to us, this is cool, capeesh?’. Not only do they tell what’s cool, it is completely static. For an art form as subjective as music no one should be able to tell you what is ‘good’. I’m going to come right out and throw out a taboo site I have a problem with, Pitchfork media. I have no problem with these people, they are very good at finding new and exciting acts that have literally no fan base and sky rocketing them to indie super stardom. I have found many bands I know really enjoy from that site. No I have no problem with Pitchfork, I do have a problem however, with the mass of Pitchfork middle men. These sites take bands and review them like they found them all by their little old selves. They have no reason to like this music besides the fact that the underground god of new music told them to.

Now I’m done with this rant, but I want to say that with this blog, we (the Bluegrassish Team)are dedicated to bringing you completely one sided opinions on everything we see, do and hear. We will review, rate and discuss not only the music we like, the books we read, good breakfasts we’ve eaten, buses we’ve sat on, trails we walked but literally life itself. There is no 0-10 scale. I’m sure you can gather how we feel about the topic from the first 3 sentences. We will debate our own conversations and that in its self will be up for debate. We are so very dedicated to the promotion of bands who deserve to be promoted, locally to internationally.
