Memphis Music Scene(R.I.P.)

So, as I have stated before, and if you listen to the songs I post, you know I like my music heavy with metal. What exactly does that mean for me? The ability to see live shows is very limited. It is already a super small community in itself, and living in Memphis, well lets just say I wont be throwing down to soul music. Though I enjoy the rich music the Memphis does have, it really doss hinder my ability to enjoy the music I love. The one, main sanctuary that Metalcore listeners had to rock out was the New Daisy. However, the major booking company for the New Daisy, Won't look back Booking, closed its books this past month. What does that mean for me? Well, it is pretty obvious. Aside from three or so more booked shows, there really is no plan is to what will happen next. That mixed with me missing two concerts do to work, and other venues lack of advertisement has really left the music scene dry. There are a few other venues, as I just noted, but they are small, hidden, not popular, and only get a good metal show every now and again. If you were hoping for a post that lead to some enlightenment, there is non today. I am literally only here to complain today because the music scene for my genre has been one of my biggest escapes from life. When at a show, for 5 or 6 hours, there is nothing else going on in the world but 300 people who don't know each other have some already strong bond built between one another for just simply being there. I am going to miss it, and hope that someone will step in to fill their shoes, but no one has been able to fill them like they have.

Just trying to do my job.

I'm just trying to do my job, and you keep tackling my for something that isn't my fault.

     Today I would like nothing more then to rant on a little about my place of employment. I am on my second full week of work at a new Kroger that has opened up inside and old Schnucks. Sorry for the lose of those faithful employees. Without you, though, I wouldn't have been able to get my current job. I've caught on quick to the ways of the cashier, with hopes of upgrading my status as quickly as possible. Of course, there are several returning members, so I know they are way ahead of me in status. Though the job my seem simple, standing for 8 hours and hearing customer after customer complain about it not being Schnucks anymore, and how Kroger doesn't carry the toast they want, you start to hate humanity a little. The leads into my new secret, I've started smoking. Getting an extra break and something to take the edge of those sorts of shoppers, it was.. well needed. I know I might be complaining a little early and I might be setting myself up for future turmoil, but I am just going to see where it goes. Anyways, first paycheck comes in Thursday and I clocked in for 38 hours so it will be nice to feel that money roll in again.
