IT'S VARGA!

Every generation has a voice.

And I truly, totally, honestly, not-even-messing-with-you believe our voice is VARGA.

Tonight I was stumbling through one of my favourite blogs: Regretsy

Basically, this blog collects all the strange items available on DIY haven etsy.com.

As you can see from the link to regretsy, they uncovered the underrated debut album of an artist named Varga. As you can hear for yourself in the samples Varga is quite original. He is also a heart throb in a sort of Ricky Gervais crossed with Yanni kind of way.

Something about the cover (which features Varga in a dirty tank doing a sit up in front of what I think is a physio ball) let's you know that this right here is baby making music.

But the fun doesn't stop there. He's got his own official website: Vargaworld.com.

He's not just a man. He's a world! Here you can read the lyrics to the "River of Love" masterpiece. Sing along with classics like "Shave My Gorilla" and "Find Reasons (To Love)".

That's not all though, there's an about section which teaches us the true meaning of Varga:
"Varga is a word you will not find in any dictionary. I have coined it as a stage name to mean " the voice which we often ignore but which is our central essence"

It's amazing what we can discover when we give ourselves over to the endless, vacuous, black hole of voyeurism that is the Internet.

I end in the words of Varga:

NOW I FIND RESURRECTION – WITH MY GORILLA BY MY SIDE
BUT THE WAY THE WORLD HAS BEEN TURNING
THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE

YOU WANT TO SHAVE MY GORILLA, YES YOU DO
I KNOW YOU

Personally I am inspired by his earnestness. And that's the least cynical thing I can say in this blog. At this point I encourage you to write to him and let him "know how your own Varga is progressing". I know I will.
