Does listening to a specific artist make you feel the need to do something in particular?
Like, when I listen to De la Soul, I find myself wanting to don my Bret Hart basketball-style singlet and go shoot some hoops. Despite never actually playing basketball. Or being athletic. Or having anyone to play b-ball against.
Today I'm listening to Run-D.M.C. because they are the kings. I don't make the rules. Anyways, Rock Box is still the awesomest... and totally makes me want to find a nice cold glass bottle of Pepsi. Must be glass. Not sure where I would find such a thing, but if you have one, please send it my way.
I kind of liken to this when I listen to Kiss; that always results in me wanting to play guitar, and then inevitably getting bored because my guitar playing is so poor now. And listening to Ramones makes me want to just give my boss the finger or something. My boss is me... so... yeah.
Real talk.
Also, can we get some deluxe Run-D.M.C. reissues? Someone wanna do an atmos remix of their albums? Don't tell me wouldn't enjoy having a multi-channel version of It's Tricky to crank up. And why is Tougher Than Leather not available on blu-ray? I'm pretty sure I could make my wife watch that and make her fall asleep.
These classic jams are just to hold me over until I can finally order the Diamonds and Pearls box set. I started getting hyped for it and was listening to Purple Rain a lot, which led to me falling in love with the full-length version of Computer Blue, which then led to me starting some post about it or Prince or something. I might revisit that once I get the Diamonds and Pearls box set. Or continue to listen to the Kings of Rock.
