So, since I've been tweaking on Matt Nathanson records for the past month or so like a meth addict taking apart a radio, I've decided to formulate a plan for this blog (that does not include every single entry being about his songs). Well, a near-future plan...nothing far reaching or earth shattering. I'm going to lay down some groundwork - the albums that have gotten me where I am today. The stuff I listened to as a kid and, generally, still listen to today. I'm a child of grunge rock, so expect a lot of that for the next little bit. Basically, I just want to let you know where I'm coming from, then I'll get around to the newer stuff (new to me, at least) and when I discover new things, I'll take you on that journey too.
These will be records that I don't really even have to listen to again to be able to discuss - they are just part of the playlist in my brain. So come along with me on this little trip down memory lane.
Next up: "Blind Melon" by Blind Melon...a record that was perhaps more imporant to me than to anyone else in the world.
I have this blog because I love music passionately. I love the progression of a song, the swell of it, the way it permeates a room and fills the spaces. I love how it ebbs and flows and how it can be a tangible thing - how you can move around inside it and it can move around inside you. And I love to talk about it, write about it, experience it.
