Hey there, this is a music blog, music is good.

I don't really know how to do an introduction, so here's some GENERIC QUESTION AND ANSWERS!!! 


Who are you? why should we care? I'm just some guy, and no, you shouldn't care. My musical interests stretch far and wide, from Jazz to Electronica, Space Rock to avant-garde orchestrial compositions etc etc. I do make music myself, and maybe at some point, I'll put some of that on here for you. Who knows??? But essentially I'm a depressive art graduate, and the only thing that keeps me going is my love of music, so I hope I can use this to promote decent and interesting music, and point the proverbial gun in the proverbial face of the proverbial Paolo Nuttini.

 There are plenty of music blogs already floating around on the internet, do we really need another one? No, but then you don't need the internet anyways. Hopefully what'll make this a bit different is that I will be trying to avoid the 'white guy in a grey overcoat' style of most blogs, which only tend to talk about 70's rock and such. I mean, THERE WILL be lots of talk on 70's rock, but there'll be plenty of talk on lots of other different types of music.

 Will there be download links? Nope, the music I will be reviewing will be stuff I have purchased as a physical copy. I feel that music becomming mere digital information has in a way cheapened the whole experience, and reduced the value of music to a commodity or background music. I mean, if you're just starting out and want to get your music out there, it's good, and likewise if you're just trawling round to check bands out, then again downloading is good but ultimately I think we should always see the CD, Tape or Record as the real deal. Listening to MP3's is often like looking at a painting through frosted glasses.

 (And yes, keen hippies will notice that the groovy mandala in the corner of my page is indeed an 'Octave Doctor' from the planet Gong!)
