An Ending Has a Start

Many of you who have read my previous blog noticed that I have posted in it in over 6 months. I'd like to continue working on that for more personal reflections on today's society, complete with pretentious poetry which no-one reads if I ever get around to it. But this new blog is meant to exercise my essay and article writing hobbies. Much like my now defunct film blog "Royale with Cheese", this blog is going to detail my opinions on new material by artists. THis time the target is music. If I like it, I'll tell you why. If I love it, I'll tell you why. If it sucks (or alienates my soul as a wise drama teacher told me to say), I'll tear it to pieces, feed it to my dog, and wait till spring to find it decomposed in my backyard. Hopefully then it'll taste good. I believe all music has the potential to sound good, as long as the musician is inspired, driven by a desire to make music they like, and worked on. I also believe that it is impossible to hate an entire genre, music snobs who claim to hate rap really have no idea what they're talking about as they can't possibly have listened to every artist who considers him or her self to be a rapper. I'm merely outlining my general opinions on music so you will understand if I compliment an artist that you see as terrible, and so you can catch me when I trip up and say something completely hypocritical. Now, without further ado, my first article of this blog and of the year. Enjoy.
