Is there Life on Mars?
Every now and then I get in to these modes when I only like to listen to the classics. Right now everything on the radio sounds the same; everybody in Hip-hop is starting to use voice boxes, everybody in rock wants to sound indie, everybody in pop are all of a sudden rock stars. Don't get me wrong, there is still some brilliant stuff out there but its very few and far between. At one point I found solitude in Indie 103 but even they are starting to play the same stuff over and over again. Classic Rock, funk, and classic R&B maybe the last refuge we have to be inspired anymore. Even though it's old I never get tired of it, every time I listen to "Stairway to Heaven" I get get goosebumps. That's what real music is, getting all five senses to react at once and send the body into a euphoric high. One of the artists that gives me that feeling is Bowie, he may have been a little gay back then but he made some great music.
Alot of people always ask me what Epidemy means, and my answer to them always is “Epidemy is an epidemic”. Then they say to me, “An epidemic of what?” And that question always seems to catch me off guard. When I created Epidemy at first I wanted people to thing epitome, but the word did not look visually appealing nor did I want people to think I was arrogant. Epidemy looked more appealing visually and I thought the meaning of that word was more of what I wanted to do. But an epidemic of what is what I have been stuck on. I don’t want people to think of a bad epidemic like AIDS or cancer of the Black Plague, I want Epidemy to mean: new ideas, focusing more on being a leader and not being led.
I want to start an epidemic that will break down all the norms of what everyone thinks are popular, and help people understand that they do have their own voice.
