Tariq Khan aka Terrecon (the phonetic way to say the name) aka Genie Stafford, is a punk-ass, overconfident, non-conformist who will happily never fit in anywhere. The man's bloodlines hail from the meditatively musical Himilayan mountains of the unjustly occupied Kashmir, the dirty Dixieland of the corrupt south, and the uptight and perfectionist supremists of European Classical Music. A deep saturation of hiphop, soul, drumnbass, jazz and the almighty blues constantly overwhelm him. He loves and hates every style of music for everything they have, and everything they don't. So what to do? Is it worth regurgitating the same old love songs? puking up a new way to say I love you? Or should the pointless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of musical expression be chased??...when no one , except the biggest nerds, relate to it (or pretend to to be cool to other nerds) . Isn't it the poetry which is most important? Then why does everyone choose to rhyme either one-syllable words or four-syllable words and never mix them? people still applaud. see? this is the craziest part. Art is all-important. Appreciation of art is subjective. Art is also usually a selfish pursuit of one trying to prove one's worth to the world. If Tariq Khan really wanted to change the world for the good, he'd be a fucking doctor. but wait... wait.... maybe if one sly meager man (or one voluptuous powerful woman) chooses to do everything in music, maybe the answers will come. Maybe the broadness and understanding of other artists and their passions, powers, and their shortcomings will come. Maybe that perfect love will come and it will pee all over Tariq Khan and soak him in bliss. Maybe not.....euughh maybe not, but it'll be an adventure trying to figure these things out, no? so listen really deeply, and then forget it all, because it only confuses us to try get it and then not fully understand. That's the secret to happiness: just let things go..................and wait for the next exciting thing to happen.p.s. writing in third-person is for losers.
