Right?

That always cracks me up. "I like everything except for country."

... well, I guess you don't like *everything* then.

Now, now - we're not here to judge. We're here to confess and to listen.

Pish posh, judge away, I say.

Some folks' confessions here have really just been an excuse to further bag on the things they bag on every day anyway, and not really confessions at all.

- Used to think I smoke very much until I met Mick Harris in a festival in Rome, then I quit.
- I had sex with men but I love only girls and I wish to be married with kids an'all.

5.) I own and love the first album from Sixpence None The Richer, and I enjoy singing along to "Kiss Me". In full falsetto. In front of my girlfriend.

6.) I can't use a plugin if I hate the GUI. Compressors with 3D knobs sound better.

I also sing along to "Kiss Me". Add Lisa Loeb's "Stay" to the list.

I often drive through "da hood" with Smashing Pumpkins, Beck's "Sea Change" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" on full blast. I drive a convertible at that...

I also can't use a plugin if I hate the GUI. In fact...I usually won't buy a plugin if the GUI isn't white, silver, or blue.

To this day I'm still much more creative after a late night fellatio session. Thanks to all who got the juices flowing...

Sometimes I just want to smack the shit outta people who claim hip hop/rap is all about being tough and killing people on record. Do you know HOW BADLY I want THOSE RECORDS to make a comeback???? These days it's all about "Swag" and buying some skank a Mercedes to park outside her project crib. What the hell is so tough about a rapper singing about 808s and Heartbreak? Every rapper wants to be a lover...no one wants to kill 33 people in 3:30 anymore.

I really miss N.W.A. And "Blueprint" Jay-Z.

I wish male R&B singers still wrote from the male perspective. R. Kelly may be a pedophile, but got damn he knew how to write the shit a man would express when explaining himself to his woman...

or in Robert's case...a chick straight outta Romper Room.

I've never cried over the death of a celebrity...except for when Biggie passed. If you love hip hop...loved lyrically gifted talent, and you were from Brooklyn...then maybe you'd understand.

I believe some...many only hate rap because they see a black guy in a video wearing expensive chains while not talking about shit. The truth is if you've listened to rap music lately...

It sounds A LOT like your average pop/house track. Trade the black guy for a white chick in jeans and a fur coat...keep the same lyrics...and tell me what you think about Fergie.

I've never felt comfortable as a "musician". I've always been at peace when writing for someone else's music.

The woman who taught me how to write passed away before Thanksgiving. I thought I'd never feel this kind of heartbreak again.

I workout at the gym while listening to "The Dark Knight", "Bleach", and "Lost" soundtracks.

I bought a quad core Mac to get Logic. I'd rather just stick with Pro Tools, Live, and Reason. I'd still rather use them all on Mac rather than PC.

I'm SOOOOOO much better at video editing than creating music.

...I actually use Omnisphere to create music.

I truly don't understand why anyone bothered to upgrade to Sonar 8.

I still believe most expensive tools are "hated" by those who can't afford them...and only because they can't.

I still believe many inexpensive tools are so loved only because...

If I were still on the dating scene, I'd "unfairly" judge each and every woman by what music entertains her. If she listens to Katy Perry or Rhianna I probably wouldn't expect her to be too bright. If it's Neyo? I'd think she has a few kids and no father to care for any of them. If she's all Joe Budden and Al Green I'd probably try to marry the broad...

Oh wait...

while everyone knows i like uncomfortable music i also have an extreme fondness for french pop.
i still believe people only revere the most expensive tools because they think more money equals better music.

My musical confessions.
There was this poststructuralist butcher, who always said he liked sine waves before he cut the throat of a virtual master of inauthenticity - meaning a cow. Then a choir of music journalists cried out in b flat minor " das Private ist das Politische". Something was funny, because they pretended to laugh, only that someone fell down a bridge, still with that grin on his face as if his muscles were frozen in the midst of summer. He of course wasn't dead, it was only an inscening and he had a good private health security like all of his friends have.
After some minutes the choir of the music journalists went on how ugly "the eighties" were. "Vollbärtig, piepsig, und verdruckst". A single man on the street played a kind of harpsichord, a piece by Couperin, "les barricades mysterieuses". Nobody of the folk took notice, after a writer amongst them named meine Ecke had said "Straßenmusiker sind scheiße, die tun so authentisch".
It was after midnight, as a woman invited the harpsichordist for a drink in a lonely bar, where the owners played Gubaidulina and Benjamin Britten. On the wall right before the toilets - the door stood open and a man tried to piss out of the highest window but wet himself - someone had written in red: it will take some time and a completely new generation before any musical confessions will make sense again. The woman and the musician of course had no clue what the writer had wanted to say, but they nodded and went out into the street, as it began to rain and a man looking like Cechov started to cough.

I still believe jealousy(of those with expensive tools) is a female trait.

Wait. That's a Jigga belief.

Yep... Yep...

That's another falsetto-inviting song for me. Love to sing it. Although I don't consider that a confession or a guilty pleasure. I just think of "Stay" as a damn good song.

I hate the music industry and think it is the oposite of what is great about music.

Your (music-related) confessions....
