let the music kick you underground.

Writer: Fran.


Hello people! It's been some time since I last wrote again, sorry for that. It's actually not 'cause I haven't had the time, in fact I've had too much time lately. I haven't received enough DJ-gigs for some reason, and was forced to ask some funding from my parents..... Despicable, I know. But since I have only been going for some concerts, underground-gigs and met new people who have been too fun to hang with, I kinda have lost the inspiration to write anything down. But I still felt that I owe you one entry, and since it's the last day of my blogging-week (I'm still going to keep on writing here, so it's not literally my last day :D), I thought I could write a bit longer story.

Actually this time I focus on the lack of inspiration, which I'm sure everyone in the world - again - has had some experience. Mostly I hear that people who are writers or deeply keen on drawing or something like that, complain how so often their inspiration is rolling somewhere in a scary place called Mordor or just in somehwere the vast nothingness of space, or deep in the thickest jungle you've ever seen. But they're not the only ones who sometimes seems to be in lack of motivation, skills or pressures (big enough).

Let me give you an example from a real life. A friend of mine (name censored) works as an engineer. Usually he's a typical, everyday normal guy who really likes his job and is fun to be with, if you can say, he's a person you could call as 'a thought of an ideal human' or something like that. But one day he just came to me, all messed up and looked kinda worn out. He straightly banged (we were at some club-gig that day) to me that he's tired of his profession, and wants to try something else. As I asked him why, he told that because all of his clients seem to treat him as an lower person in some way, because he happens to be in dirty clothes and his garage is not the best-looking, brand-new-and shiniest in the whole Missisippi. He told that the lack of respect towards him made his interest, and somehow even his inspiration to do things lose its shine. I think he then really quit that job, and now is about to go study photographing in some NY-adult education college. Good for him.

I think people use like 345436 different ways to prevent the lack of inspiration, or to get it back. Some walk outside, some make plans and meet friends, some people read many books and write notes, poems, lyrics and stuff, or then just tear their hair off and are almost masochistically in love with that feeling, when you don't know where could you get the inspiration. As it comes for me and how I get my inspiration back, I believe it comes as no surprise that I make playlists and store them at my mp3-players, cd's and hard discs. So now, I think that here in the end I could publish you some of the songs that have very often been at my playlists, and really helped me to get back the red line to whatever I do.
