Blog: Someone to Love More Than Music

So, I've clearly lost my mind. That said, I'm still going to go forward with my plan to sell my entire record collection. I've taken pictures of them all (well, I missed 1 or two, but I've uploaded images in their place), and uploaded them to the internet, and here they are. If you see one you want, make me an offer in an e-mail, facebook message, tweet, text, or comment with your e-mail, and we'll work it out. Here's the master list: [...]

While I'm readying the next part to my RB/Friday series, Ive decided to start making mixes of music I've been listening to.

And now, to discuss a thing that has been on my mind for a while. Friday , by Rebecca Black Okay, it think it's time for me to talk about Friday, "by" Rebecca Black. I have made some pretty bold statements about this song in the past, namely that it is "the best song ever recorded." By it's nature, the meaning of the word "best" is elusive. Not only is it generally used in a way that means something [...]

I've got a write up on Prog Rocker's re-release over at Speaker Snacks if'n y'all want to check it out http://speakersnacks.com/2011/ 05/haikara-geafar-re-release/

I have a post on Sleepless in Seattle over at The Movie Advocate. I'm pretty sure I thought about it way too hard. I initially started to watch it because I'd just finished watching one of the most intense 80's movie EVER, and needed a little 90's ennui. It worked out just right. Read it Here!

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I decide to start blogging again, a few friends of mine ask me to start contributing to their blogs. I'll still use this site to post things that don't fit in with their blogs though. First post will be next month! Be on the look out.

John Darnielle said in a 2006 interview "I think I read too much Arthur Conan Doyle when I was young, and got this idea that a gentleman should know a lot about one thing and plenty about most everything else." I've had a similar outlook on life, but if it feel more legitimate, and kind of less egotistical, if I quote someone else. So there you have it. That's the premise of this blog now. I'll be purging the tags in the posts that came before so that the tags [...]

I hated blogging. I did it for all the wrong reasons. I would be sent all sorts of stuff, and feel obligated to review it, because the people were putting themselves out on a limb, and essentially taking a potential loss with just giving me the music when they have every right to charge for it. I would go to shows and even to festivals that I just didn't care about, and give them lukewarm reviews because I the performers were good at playing their instruments, despite the fact that I just didn't care for the music.
