Ninety-Nine Centerrr

Alright, lets put this bluntly: my blog game this Spring sucked worse than Viski's game in 7th grade. (He tried to guilt Hannah Kliner into dating him by telling her that he wasn't going to cut his hair until they were together--maybe this is slightly fabricated.) Maybe it was the stress of the election, maybe it was the stress of trying to find an internship, but at the end of the day my blog game has been week, and I am not going to clutch onto any excuse.

(Hopefully my blog game can catch back up to Viski's girl game)

Thus, I have decided that AT LEAST every 2 weeks I will post a song. Here's the catch, if 1) don't post anything on the blog for two weeks I owe everyone 0.99 or 2) if you don't like the song I'll give you 99 cents (yes, I am completely swagger jacking my boy Jimms, but he stole my towel, so lets call it even).

For my inaugural Ninety-Nine Centerrr, here is So This is Goodbye by William Fitzsimmons. This guy, William Fitzsimmons had one of the most bizarre upbringings I have ever heard of. Off his website: "William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family’s inability to communicate through normal visual means, William’s childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands.”

I actually first head Fitzsimmons on his acoustic cover of Kanye's Heartless (which he absolutely destroys), and was drawn to his folk/indie sound. This guy pours passion into his music, and has an innate ability to intertwine a variety of complex sounds to create a synthesis of bliss.

Although I have never been a huge fan of techno, I actually enjoy some vocal trance (from what Mitro and landy have taught me.) On the track, So This is Goodbye, German Producer Pink Ganter coordinates Fitzsimmons somewhat emo vocals perfectly with an haunting trance track--let's just call it Electremo??. Now this song may not be bumping at any pre-party anytime soon, but a song hasn't struck me this hard since I first heard M83 and decided to start this blog (check out the very first post here).

So do it, download it, and if you don't like it, I got ninety nine cents coming your way.
