KBOX Adventure

First off, HI to Gen who found my blog, HI!.

Ok, so today was my first time going to a karaoke. Long story short, nine guys, small room, singing(??) as if they were high on coke (cola).

It was strange for me.  Because I was raised with classical music, or rather, I chose to be engluf myself in real music and occasionally heavy rock for its passion, I tend to stay away from the popular culture and teen stuff.

I was trained to always support my breath,  float the sound and so on. But today, it was different. In fact, it was rather freeing, to be able to blast through songs and to be on the wrong pitch.

It helps knowing that nobody else knows who you are.

It also helps when there are oldies in the song catalogue. It's precious when other people have to sit through, "my girl", "alone again naturally" and "tell laura I love her". That's right, I am an asshole too.

I'm also noticing a growing trend that some of the younger classcical artists are incooperating pop in their repetoir. Not as in separated song but classcical and pop in the same track. I do agree that they complement each other fairly well but in the way that the pop element makes the classical entity stand out much more. It's probably just me.

And remember, rock rocks.

A great disturbance in the order, as if millions of voices cried out to say "oh shit".
