I Read A Lot; Fiction And Non-fiction

You Can't Bury A Part Of Yourself That's So Innate To Who You've Been, Even If It's Not For The Sake Of Anything Other Than A Pure Enjoyment Of It.

To Really Be Tortured By A Song, It Needs To Be More Than Just Something You Don't Like Or Don't Get; It Has To Make Your Skin Crawl By Getting Under It. Strangely, That Last Clause Could Describe Provocative Or Daring Music, As Well.

I Like To Connect With People Through My Work. That's My Favorite Way - Meetings Of The Minds, Fans At A Show. Those Are Nice Mediated Ways Of Hanging Out.

The Internet Is Just A Scary Place. It's Better To Just Go To The Doctor. Don't Let Google Get Inside Your Head. It Will Do Bad Things To You.

You'd Hope That No Writing About Music Could Supersede The Music Itself. But I Do Think That Blogs Mirror The Way That We Are Listening. It Comes At You Fast And It's Timely And Then Five Minutes Later We're On To Something Else. It Caters To Our Desire For Instant Gratification. And I Think Blogs Also Have Fluidity That's Exciting. You Have A Lot Of Real Enthusiastic Music Fans For The Most Part That Are Writing Sometimes For A Large Audience, And I Think Certain Blogs Have A Little Too Much Power Over What Someone Likes Or Doesn't Like.
