So... every once in awhile my music producer skills are called into action. While I'm not particularly talented at it, I do enjoy the challenge! If you know me, then you know I love music of all kinds. And not in that bullshit answer that I read on profiles online or casual microvisits with people too ["Oh, I love all sorts of music". 'los digs out iPod and presents a song. "Er, well maybe I don't."]
One of my good friends, Jason, approached me about a musical challenge. He had a list of obscure songs that he really enjoyed. He was curious if I'd be willing to hunt them each down, burn them to a CD, and any download cost(s) he would cover - to a limit.
Hm. Well... I do love results-oriented projects, music, and helping my friends, so I said, 'CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!' Way before Barney [HIMYM] uttered it.
[Was there any doubt I wouldn't?] I called that one conVINCEd, since his moniker was VINCE. Anyways, I moved on to another one, "Hip Chicks That Rock". And his last one hella cool. He bought the soundtrack to the movie, Watchmen. He was so disappointed with his purchase [broke all his crayons] He asked me if he provided yet another list of songs that were heard in the movie, yet not on the OST, could I burn it to another CD.
'CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!' Not only was it completed, I designed the CD cover and CD sticker. Titled it the Watchmen OST: Vince Edition.
My other friend, Jason, saw that and proposed the same type of challenge. Re-do the Ironman OST. He was also disappointed in the number of songs that were in the movie, yet didn't make it to the OST.
What's the point of this entry? I'm getting to it! My co-worker asked me to load up her iPod with songs I had already on file. Sure, I could do that. Then... she returns the iPod with a 4-page list of song requests! HOLY HANNAH! I loved it. Talk about musical madness and musing me. As I went searching for those songs, several of my friends, (one of which was Jason), have approached me with songs and/or bands I hadn't heard of but they knew of anyone they knew I'd be willing to listen.
My musical horizons are expanding with each new project. Thinking of writing a song since I'm inspired.
