Aficionado - Do Nothing, Be Nothing

I'm realizing that every day is the same, no matter when I wake up, it's way too late.  Then I will make a point to recognize that I will never have that morning that I just slept away, ever again in my life.

Lyrical genius makes up for an absence.  Internet has been up and internet has been down...mostly down.  Now, I've featured "fun" songs before.  They are mostly alternative and indie selections that are short in duration, but long-lasting in your head.  A jawbreaker for your brain, if you can elaborate in such a way.  "Do Nothing, Be Nothing" comes from Aficionado, an eight-piece indie-alternative-ish band hailing from Albany.  They give us the perfect song to begin the summer, and most fittingly, the perfect one to end it.  The time for fun and games might be over as school starts (unfortunately), but that doesn't mean that more fun and games can't begin.

A fun gathering of guitars, percussion, cymbals, keyboards and what might be a horn of some sort, "Do Nothing, Be Nothing" contains nothing short of perfection in music.  There is a lot going on, but nothing is ever lost (with 8 people, it can be easy).  The real star here?  The guitarist(s).  Whoever is behind those instruments is doing something right.  No, they're doing everything right.  This is the kind of stuff that indie music should be.  I'm tired of five boys in wrinkled suits trying to play guitar and sing.  Aficionado knows what they're doing, so why can't every other band do it too?

And if you wanna go for this nostalgia, I feel the solution is all too simple; it's called "do nothing, be nothing."  Don't wanna feel so bad when these good times come to an end, well fill your memory, with nothing nothing worth remembering.
