So it's funny that 3 days after I vowed to myself that i'd start writing again David calls me and asks me to be a part of this blog. "What IS a blog?" I asked myself. The word itself seems scary and quite nondescript, so my cinematic mind immediately pictured the Attack of the Giant Blob. I assumed the blog wasn't going to attack me, and worst that could happen was that random people would judge my grammar/spelling/punctuation, ect, let a lone content. I never really saw myself writing any kind of blog, but perhaps the vaguely therapeutic aspects will outweigh the awkward realization that i'm writing to no one in particular.
I suppose music is a suitable topic to begin my life as a blogger (I believe that's what the kids are calling it these days). I've always been a technological minimalist, and that fact has really left me in the musical dust. I can't tell you who is the number one download on Itunes is (although I pray it's not lady gaga). I also can't give you a list of the hottest new indie bands to come out of southern Arkansas. Here is what i'm working with: My cd player from 8th grade (with skip protection), a handful of cd's from artists like: MIA, Jack Johnson, Del Mcoury, Jimi Hendrix, Bone Thugs n' Harmony, Bob Marley, Christiaan Oyens, The Kooks, various rap mix cd's that i've stolen from my girlfriend, and the usual radio stations playing: DC rap, Baltimore Rap, Classic Rock, and (god help me) Pop.
I know, it's pathetic.
I do feel like this blog will provide me with some sort of redemption in regards to giving music its long over-due attention. In fair warning, I will not be divulging my latest and greatest musical finds that you MUST listen to. I will simply be providing an admittedly random analysis of the way I view music and its components.
Cheers,
