I Think It's Time For A [DRUM] Revolution.

Ever listen to any modern heavy/death metal, or obscenely angry teenage rock? Well, you should put yourself through it just once or twice, harmful it may be to your hearing and your fragile hearts. Listen, in particular, to the drums. The drums, beating a heavy, mean, constant beat into the young listener's ears, and polluting the air with waves of unmusical hate. As CDS says, "There's no sex. No swing." And I agree. Isn't drumming a form of music? And not just a form, but the original, the most animal, the essential pulse of the song? A repeating BLAMBLAMBLAM that gives the same effect as being beaten in the eardrum with an assault rifle gives no pulse, no rest. Again I quote CDS, "Fire is lame." and continuous, pauseless drumming is simply a flame, no explosions. "Explosions are boss."
So I implore not just drummers, but musicians and music lovers alike, STAGE A REVOLUTION. If the masses can form a collective, we can repeat revolutions of the past, create a musical version of Russia's February Revolution and bring ourselves together to take back drumming like the masses took back the power from the bourgeoisie! Let our ears hear TRUE PERCUSSION, studied, mathematical, precise and still animal, sensual, and sexy. Don't you want to hear real music? Don't you wish the world was a little more calm? I know I do.

So join CDS and I, take down incessantly harmful drumming.

For the music in us all,

MeganAnneDear, in all of her MADness.

Twilight: I'd rather be in the sun.

Ah, yes. Twilight, addictive teen vampire book, once again rears it's ugly head in the form of one of the worst movies I have ever had to sit through.
Okay, YES, I read the series, and YES, I liked it. Although it wasn't particularly well-written, the characters were created incredibly well. And YES, I even went to Forks, WA. And YES, I met Stephenie Meyer at the height of my obsession. But Dawn Broke, and the last book was a disappointment. Then, I saw the actors cast for the movie of "Twilight."
Truly, the casting director must be a crack addict, or blind, or just stupid. The only character well cast was Esme, "mother" of the Cullen coven. The movie was poorly acted, has shotty technical work, and details, chronological and otherwise, were greatly ignored. I'm just annoyed that this film was EVEN CREATED. Want to know the worse part? The actors have signed on to finish the series. This is, possibly, the worst pop culture phenomenon ever created.

Now, on to the ever important news about me. JM sucks, MB is the best boyfriend ever, CDS is wayyy more cool than I thought over the summer. I love/hate school, V-SHOW is soon, DU IS MY BEST FRIEND EVER.

Love love love love love.

MADness.
