    So, when you divide the world into music lovers, music fans and then those people who are just very casual about their music, it’s wallpaper to them, it’s elevator music, it’s just the thing that’s playing in the background that helps them through their day.

    Taken a rather belated liking to BRMC. They came out late 90’s at a time when the music scene was what I can put mildly as bleak. I heard their releases from the radio at that time and I was fascinated more by the band’s name although I got their songs playing in my head once in a while. I stopped buying CDs that time because of lack of funds and lack of albums worth buying. Frankly I despaired of all the crap metal at that time and lost  almost all interest in music. I recently just uploaded all their 6 studio albums in my mp3 player and I was able to listen to their songs properly. How apt that they came out with this song at that time when garage rock and (post)punk started to come back. And so I gave my heart to a simple chord and my soul anew to this religion, rock and roll.
