smooth criminal
i'm a very easily distracted person. so mostly i created playlist to help me concentrate in my work, specially in my office frenetic ambience, phone keeps ringing, guests coming in and out, colleagues asking and discussing projects, and not to mention all the jokes thrown during working hours. these past few days i don't remember exactly what triggered it but i'm kind of being nostalgic and picking up some songs i used to listen to when i was much younger.
track listing:
* lostprophets - shinobi vs dragon ninja
* alien ant farm - smooth criminal
* system of a down - aerials
* p.o.d - sleeping awake
* nonpoint - your signs
* creed - higher
* 311 - when i'm gone
* lostprophets - last train home
* eminem - cleaning out my closet
* incubus - nice to know you
there are two points i want to stress out. first, at some point i think all this "indie" label thing today kinda sickens me, i mean, they all sound the same and it gets boring. on the other side, the radio is still the shit you can't listen to. so it's kinda refreshing getting back to the late 90s and early 2000s. second point, i was somewhere with my friend, a guy, when suddenly one of these songs was played and i asked him whether he had gone through a phase in his younger age when he listened to these kind of songs, i was surprised when he said no. well he's gay anyway. but my point is, probably base on the songs only, people can tell i was quite a troubled teenager back then. today every now and then i would say that these kind of songs are a bit too loud. but then a person today was built from what he's gone through on the past and although this kind of songs doesn't exactly define who i am today, it always is a context that has built me and always be something i can relate to.
