So Here I Am...

After quite a fair amount of bashing so many internet fads like Facebook, and MySpace, and online blogs, I have decided to stop hating and join in. This is my blog. It is all about music. It may interest you, or you may think it sucks. I make no guarantees.

The thing that has always bothered me about blogging, is the amount of harsh critiquing and passing of judgment that people will often engage in. Who are these anonymous people sitting behind laptops, writing for all to see, about how much a certain band or album sucks? What makes them the authority on good or bad sounding music? I just never understood it.

Nonetheless, I’m not here to preach about moral wrongs in blogging. I only bring that point up to say that I’m not interested in engaging in that kind of stuff. There’s a lot of music out there that I don’t like, but that tons of other people do like, and I respect that. You have to. Everyone has different tastes, and I believe in always trying to keep an open mind when it comes to various musical styles. You’d be surprised how much good music we all miss out on by being narrow-minded. So to that end, I will try not to engage in any sort of bashing of genres, bands, songs, etc.

Also, I’m not going to act like I know everything (or anything for that matter). I’m not a professional musician, and I don’t have a degree in music. I am just a guy who lives and breathes music… always have. I love playing, listening, and especially talking. That’s why I wanted to do this. I want to share my thoughts with other people on the thing I am most passionate about.

So I hope that those of you who take the time to read my posts will like them, and/or find them interesting. I am going to try as much as I can to talk about things that aren’t as common or well-known, but I reserve the right to ramble on about how much I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers and James Brown. I am going to try to post as often as I can (at least once or twice a week), but I’ll work that out in time. Check back soon, and enjoy!
