I got a review
Well howabout them apples. A flattering little paragraph on ‘The Medium’, a U of T Mississauga online newspaper (as it seems) about the christmas song I had written a month ago.
Here is the review:
Jason Jang: “Green, Red, and White”
Jason Jang, a Richmond Hill songwriter currently living in Korea, writes with honesty like he’s Rivers Cuomo at Sunday confession. His blog examines his experience teaching English in Korea, and it includes a Christmas song that he created “after a two-year songwriting hiatus due to injury (writer’s block).” Jang wins over the listener with simple, overlapped harmonies, one guitar, and lyrics describing his attempt to live in the North Pole and snap photos to prove the existence of Santa Claus. If you listen closely at the end, he calls Santa a “bearded home intruder.” Genius. Editor’s note: I realize that the inclusion of a holiday song is not very timely, but I just heard it a few days ago, ya grinch.
Thank you Sean Fitzgerald.
I’ve been thinking more and more about devoting more time to music. But that’s usually while I’m busy devoting time to work out. I need a pill that either a. magically eradicates my body’s need to sleep, or b. magically increases the number of hours per-day without sacrificing the number of days in a week (like the 28 hour day does).
