It’s a novel concept, I’ll give you that. Maybe you should have given it a few more entries before posting the link though?

That said, I’m interested to see where it goes next.

I thought about doing that, but then I was like “you know, **** it. I’ll write something tomorrow.”

Who cares blogs are just stupid masturbatory nonsense anyway

Don’t worry, buddy, I’m used to being banned by bumhurt mods such as yourself and I don’t hold it against you. It’s kind of sort of like my specialty around here…

Anyway, I went ahead and wrote something so go ahead and read it or don’t I don’t care

CKY? Really?

Okay…and what exactly is your issue with CKY?

They’re not any good. But I guess that’s just an opinion, you have yours and I have mine.

Now see, how are you defining good? They’re third album was pretty unimpressive, but Infiltrate-Destroy-Rebuild and Carver City are very well written, and performed admirably.

Are you basing them “not being any good” on hearing a few casual singles, or have you actually listened through one of their (better) albums three, four, etc. times? Like I wrote, you can’t broaden your taste or improve your listening habits if your not challenging yourself with stuff you might not like right away.

One good example for me is Lady Gaga. I wasn’t a fan of her at first, until I listened through The Fame a few times, watched several of her interviews, and realized she’s artistically very intelligent, and a very talented singer. She can sound very similar to acts like Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morrisette, or Cher, while retaining a very distinctive and identifiable voice all her own…but picking up on something like that takes more than a few listens.

Yeah, Lady Gaga is an odd case. I like the stuff I’ve heard, but generally I’m a rock/metal kind of guy.

That’s a big strength for her – her music is very accessible. Maybe I’ll write a post about The Fame, though pretty much everybody owns it at this point.

What would the criteria be for this blog being considered successful?

I’m mostly just using it to practice with writing about music…so if anything, I’d say generating as much positive and helpful feedback as possible.

That Dana Immanuel chick has a great voice. I dig the slower stomp style bluegrbum, too. She reminds me a little of Janis Joplin if the Bad Seeds were her back-up band. Nice selection.

She’s definitely amazing, and the coolest thing is that most people discover through a song that was in an alternative, lesbian porn video:
