Please, Take a Ride With Me
My favorite blog on the internet is called Free Darko. It's dudes who blog about the NBA. They have an abstract, never-defined, much bantered about "defintion" of what Free Darko stands for and the players that represent it. Here's a list from a while back. Many people argued about it.
Basically, I've compiled a list of artists who most define what I stand for in this here pop music world. I'm not waxing romantic or philosophic as much as trying to let it be known who in music I ride for. These aren't my favorite artists. Many of my favorite bands in the world (Bloc Party, the Strokes, Wolf Parade) do not appear on this list. I don't necessarily like much or any of the music of some people who appear on this list. I think 98% of Juelz Santana's recorded music is complete shit, but the man walks around in public with a tissue sticking out of his nose to stop sinus problems and keeps stacks of money in the bandana around his head. I ride for this man.
What my criteria here is unexplainable really. The abstract term gully might be the closest actual word that would encompass where I'm coming from. But with that being said, I would classify Paula Dean as gully, so take my definition of gulliness with a grain of salt. So here, then, is my list of the artists/bands (currently alive) that for some reason(s) have a permanent and nearly-forever home in my heart.
