It is a daunting task beginning a music blog, where to begin? what to say? which fantastic music to write about? the list of overwhelming questions go on!
It is something I have wanted to do for a while, but for various reasons, haven't had the confidence, and indeed, the inspiration to give it a go. Now I'm in the head-space and have found the time, I am ready to begin and share with you all, my weird and wonderful world of music.
So here I go...
Music to me now, is about liking what I like and accepting and celebrating my individuality. I am yet to meet anyone who shares the exact music taste as I do. Oddly enough, I am comforted by this fact, and feel great pride at sharing the music I love with everyone, and anyone who can be bothered listening. In the past, I have often raved to people about The Darkness' latest LP or a re-discovered Uriah Heep record, which frequently fell upon deaf ears. This can be demoralizing and frustrating when you feel that no one can hear that you do and you wonder how on earth do they not understand this great music?! I have many friends who have a totally different music taste, stuff I could never ever dream of getting into. What I never realized is that my friends are just as passionate about their music and have the same fan-boy reaction that I do. People listen to music because it speaks to them, it may not speak to anyone else, but is important to them and that is all that matters. It is easy to get lost in your world of music, but making this realization has made me comfortable accepting the music that I like, not worrying about if it is cool or fits into a fad or a trend.
This blog is not about critiquing or imposing what i feel anyone should like or dislike, it is about sharing what music I listen to, and hope that someone out there enjoys the music too. Over the next 12 months i'll be posting guides to various albums i'm listening to, new, old, rare, and obscure.
Enjoy!
