Address #2 - The Itch For Change



No, this doesn't have to do with anything political or is Obama fueled. Recently I was talking with a friend and she noticed about how I have been showing her some new music recently. I aptly responded, "well, it was about that time" in reference to me listening to something new. Taking a lot of pride in what I listen to, it is hard for me to open up to new music that I do not know. However, I am at a constant battle with my music stinginess with my desire to not play out the music I have and explore new genres and artists. I feel like it's a cycle that I go through where it "gets to be about that time" where I start exploring the possibilities out there. It could be some type of unsatisfied desire from my limbic brain that pushes me to expand my music interest, or it could just be that I live in the hyper active era of history where change and gratification needs to be made more rapidly, I'm really not sure.

What I do know is that the band Love has grabbed me and has been in my rotation for these past few days. You can learn about them from their wikipedia page here. Basically they are a racially diverse 1960's pop/psychedelic/rock/folk band from the states. Here is a great song which has really caught my attention and grasps their great sound.

Address #1 - The Preamble



My name is Matt Nurre and I grew up just outside of Cleveland Ohio. I am an inspiring Filmmaker going to school at Champlain College in Burlington Vermont. This summer I enjoyed having my friends from Ohio tour up to Burlington and play a show in my basement. They all play a variety of music. You can find some of their music here. I like that the internet is a collection of knowledge based on users, but I don't like that it has consumed peoples lives so much that they have to be on it all the time. Professionally I would like to stick with my major and work in the film industry.

My profile pictures is a snowflake because the first tattoo I got was that very snowflake. Snow is definitely a part of my reasoning as to why I came all the way from Ohio to Vermont. Sometimes I think silence and peacefulness is a necessity to sanity, and snow always brings that to me.
