I have this very odd habit.
Whenever I buy a concert ticket in advance I make sure to listen to the music endlessly until the day of the show. I become the guitar, the drums, the bass the voice of the music and believe me I sound amazing in my mind.
I have a Concha Buika concert coming up on the 20th of July. Although a big fan I never purchased a Concha CD, instead I chose to download the songs that I knew I liked. I was a generic Concha fan per say and to be honest with you I really dislike these type of listeners. Those who say they like a specific artist but who only know the artist's mainstream music. This to me is equivalent to the passive voice in writing.
The moment I realized I was in fact a passive listener, I went out and bought every single Concha CD out there. In fact in one of my escapades, I was so mesmerised in my Concha hypnosis that I didn't even realize that I was standing just next to friend of mine that happened to be glaring at the amount of CD's I was just about to purchase. I looked him straight in the eye and had to do a double take to recognize him. He has broken into my Concha zone. Needless to say tapping back into the zone wasn't really that difficult.
Right now I am totally in the zone. I am typing to the rhythm of Solea de Libertad.
Her voice is as raspy as the sound of a rusty nail being unscrewed from a hole...
Sometimes she whines, I liken it to the sound of constipation....
Concha Buika...
Is as furthest away as you can get from 'passive voice' in music.
