So I've Started Another Blog

"I hate music, it's got too many notes"
- The Replacements "I Hate Music"


Yeah, I've started another blog, that's not the worst part though; I've started a music blog. The Internet really doesn't need another person talking about music but here I am anyway, let me try to explain why.

For many, many years I was a dedicated follower and consumer of music. I listed to it all the time, went to go see it performed live and obsessively followed the artists I liked, new or old. Then something changed, I can't tell you why but I remember when; someone sent me some songs off of the first Arcade Fire album when it came out, I listened to them and I enjoyed them but I just didn't care about them. Shortly afterwards someone introduced me to another band that was taking the indie kids by storm and again I just didn't give a damn. That was the start of the retreat and in the years since my musical world has gotten smaller to the point where only a limited number of things really move me anymore. I never thought I'd say this, but I just don't like music very much anymore. No matter how hard I try it doesn't feel the same as it once did, this blog is my attempt to explore what I loved about music and to try and rekindle the spark that it used to give me. There are a few posts up already that appeared on my old blog but I plan on updating this with new stuff regularly, maybe you'll discover you didn't know before and maybe you'll help me discover something new. Hopefully, the process of writing about music that matters to me will help me remember why it mattered in the first place.
