There are a lot of artists on my iPhone that I do not know, which occurs by downloading various compilations from blogs that I read, they get imported into my iTunes and I never really get around to listening to them. Today, I was riding my bike on the scenic Lincoln/Cumberland Bike Path, with my iPhone on shuffle. Just as I was passing this really cute girl wearing tie-dye pants, this track came on by Canadians Teen Daze, and I nearly rode my bicycle into the river due to distraction of this girl. I am not going to throw stupid micro-genres around (micro is 10^(-6) genre according to the metric scale), and simply say that this track is refreshing and dreamy.
While occasionally listening to music can be dangerous (via my case), music can also be a way of remembering key moments in your life, the good and the bad, whether it be a mixtape from an ex or just a memory triggered by a song you hear on an internet radio show. I’ll stop there and let this post be a reminder of the great power of music that some people underestimate, the power of unlocking your deepest emotions/feelings.
Shine On, You Crazy White Cap is off of Teen Dazes’ upcoming LP dropping in early August.
