I've discovered my personal blog (which I often neglect for weeks at a time) most of my posts tend to be music related in some way. Most of my friends just smile and nod at those posts, while I stand on my high horse and preach to the world about how much the music I listen to rocks and how much everything else sucks (which quite frankly is true). So in order to spare them and possibly spur some interesting debates, I figured I'd start up a dedicated music blog. After all the world could always use more bloggers to keep people distracted from doing real work.
One caveat I give when I make music posts: Just because I insult music somebody likes, does not mean I am directly insulting that person. A few of my best friends have absolutely horrible tastes in music, which they are entitled to. It just means I probably can't spend more than 30 minutes in a car with them. If someone disagrees with me, because of a rational argument such as "That song has special meaning to me because...." or "I like this song because
", I can accept that even that song personally makes me want to jam an icepick in my ear. If someone responds with "I like that song because it's on the radio everyday and everyone else like it" or "shut up u suk that song rox" then I will laugh at them and be mercilessly sarcastic to them.
A good friend once dubbed me "The Santa Claus of Drinking Music" because I always had whatever anyone wanted to hear and generally knew everything most others played. It's a nickname that has stuck and I'm quite proud of it.
