What is happening to me?.!?

First of all.. Hello my name is 'chunks and I'm a cold play fan. I bought all their albums and I really want to see them live.. It's destroying my relationship. But I don't care..

Any ways...
Greetings chaps

Recently I've noticed some changes my life. I'm steadily steaming towards a professional music career, I no longer want the adoration of folk musicians, I love playing random nights supporting electro puffs and Death core metal bands. I now no longer want children (thanks to Dexter series 4) and I enjoyed the new Coldplay album on first listening.

What does this mean dear friends?

Well musicly speaking all you followers of mine are aware of my slut like gigging and I am of course in indebted to the support of my friends. Who fill up otherwise empty venues so I don't feel foolish.
But my revelation about Folk clubs and random showcases come from my recent shows. Originally my fear was that I would spend my life going round and round dingy folk clubs playing wild rover for the rest of my life. Being ostracised by my generation for playing old music.
Thankfully reality is much kinder. My music (and my attire) have been greatly received by all the contemporary venues and audience. I even had a 16 year old indie guitarist come over to chat to me about bb king.
That and the fact that at traditional pub and folk venues I get regular heckles of "vandal" when I add my own twist to traditional tunes, makes me feel a bit like Dylan going electric. (no I'm not getting delusions of BoB)
Why try and entertain sad old fucks who want you to play dirty old town "exactly like the Dubliners" when you can gig with musicians your own age, with fresh music and get young musicians excited about the music you love... Not a dificult decision really...

Watch Dexter series 4 and you'll never want kids, it leaves you no time for your murdering.

Normally when buying Coldplay records I dont like it,then It grows on me. I over play it then stop listening, then the next one arrives. (a bit like a serial killers cycle).
But i enjoyed myloxoloxylo on first listening.
This either means that after all these years I've stopped being a musical nazi , maybe I've relaxed my attitude and finally enjoy music for the sake of music and not give a shit who wrote it. Maybe finally I can just enjoy the joys of songwriting from all cultures and pull my head out of my arse.

Or Coldplay just aren't trying any more.

Cheerio
'Chunks
