WHY SOME PEOPLE COMMUNICATE SO WEIRDLY | ASSHOLES & COWARDS

Q: Why do some people communicate so weirdly? Its like some people find it impossible to speak at face value.   For example, I made youtube videos that included clips from other movies I was discussing. I made a video for a movie but all the clips I used were low quality, low resolution, because that's what was available. I made a newer video about a movie that I was able to find higher quality clips for. I showed both videos to my (ex)girlfriend and she said "At least some people started using higher resolution clips." She was talking directly to me, and I even asked her what she thought, but she couldn't even say "Hey neat, you used better clips this time" or "this video has better clips." She says "somebody" as if she is talking about someone else.  I worked in an office in silicon valley and some privileged dorkass kid (he was 27) approached another coworker and asked her if she had used the toaster earlier. When she said yes, he said...

ALBUM REVIEW: THE DEBUT by JASON FURLONG

 

Album: The Debut EP

For Fans Of: Machine Gun Kelly, Kid Vision, Dacian Miron

Review: "Welcome to my life, a place that I don't even like" sings Jason Furlong to open his 2021 EP titled simply The Debut. Themes of depression and angst fill the album's six tracks, nearly all of which are worthy of being released as their own single. MGK better take notice, because Jason Furlong is ready to give the rapper-turned-pop-punk some good company.

"Prisoner of Your Love" is a song that questions one's involvement in a toxic relationship while asking the age old question "is it me, or is it you?" As usual, the answer isn't about just one person. "All we want is to be free, but we're both scared to see the end of us."

"How can I love you if I don't love myself?" asks Jason on "Run Away." Despite the self-reflective emotion of the lyrics, the songs actually have an upbeat and optimistic quality and are relatable without coming across as whiny. "I'm not ready to settle down, I'm just trying to find myself right now." This isn't your Uncle's early 2000's era emo, this music is self-aware. "Maybe you'd be better off just saying farewell."

Jason Furlong is an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve and his music has incredible potential "bottled up inside" just waiting to break out. The beats are well produced, the melodies and rhymes are catchy. My only complaint is that his lyrics can be a bit too upfront at times and could benefit from the use of more metaphor.

In my humble opinion, Jason Furlong is already walking the right path to a notable music career. He's at the large wooden door with a ring full of a thousand keys in his hands. All he has to do is find one that takes his songwriting to another level. I think that he can do it.

Rating: 7.5 / 10 - Jason Furlong is a talented songwriter who is poised to make big noise in the scene.

"Prisoner of Your Love"
