Two Posts about Music

I.
Went to STA today to get my ISIC card and met this cool dude called Rick. He got a self-intro kind of card in fron' of him that said: the most interesting place he slept - sidewalk in NYC for Radiohead concert; the most interesting person he's met - Moby; if there's an eighth continent i will name it - Bjorkland. I'm not the kind of person that initiates a conversation in this kinda situation, but this time I was surprised how I just started talking to him. We talked about Sonic Youth, China rock bands. It was such a fun conversation. In the end I realized that after all I do have some passion in this world, and that passion is music.

II.
A philadelphia local label - Koherent - came down to Wynn Commons to give out a free concert. I went, and the music was super good. The beats were awesome, the loop was fun, the lyrics were as good as mine(well almost), but I was surprised to see the pathetic turnout. There were more artists and student coordinators than the audience. I couldn't understand it. I thought everybody on this campus loves hip-hop. Is it true that they only love hip-hop at the parties with booty and booze around? Why can't we just simply enjoy some good music? I hate people who don't genuinely love music. 叶公好龙。 fuck.
