When I think about the music that's closest to my heart, however, it's groups that do something undescribable, something beyond technical proficiency... groups like the Beatles and Nirvana had just enough chops to play the music that was running through their heads, and that's all they needed. For a long time my Mom had a magnet on our fridge by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a Craftsman era designer. It said, "There is hope in honest error, none in the icy perfections of the mere stylist." That's something I really believe, that the sould of music is not in perfecting a guitar solo or a really dope pick slide or an amazing drum fill but in being human and attempting to use all of your technical tools to portray honest emotions, whether they're sorrowful, dramatic, cynical, nostalgic, loving, or even joking.
