Welcome to my typical little blog!
In another life, this blog was called Your Typical Music Blog. It was (or is, I guess; it ain't dead yet) a blog I wrote mostly for friends, primarily the musicheads. I love musicheads. I love people that love music just because it's music, not because it's a cool kind of music or something external to the act of listening to it. Like Stevie Wonder says in "Sir Duke," "Just because a record has a groove / don't make it in the groove."
That, in a way, is the feeling that I try to capture in this blog. I'm just a guy who likes music and thinks about it a lot. I think about it so much, I'm thinking of getting a doctorate in thinking about music. Officially, this means a doctorate in philosophy, specificall in aesthetics, with an emphasis in music. How pretentious can ya get?
What I typically do is pick up some music and plop down some thoughts about it. As I buy CD's, I do reviews about them. That kind of thing. In the future, I also intend to have some extended essays and some more sophisticated thoughts about genres of music, musicians and (especially) the interactions of music with the individual and with society. Hope you're down with it!
