Switching Gears on New Project

Posted January 14, 2006 at 1:16 pm in Unsorted

Writing about music is very, very hard. Not that I can’t come up with anything to say, find out everything I need to know about an artist or even dig up new and old music to review, but trying to find anything nice to say about the majority of bands/rappers is tougher than it looks. For example, most groups around today aren’t worth listening too. They’re all self-righteous, pretentious snots who go on about either how bad their life sucks because they parents didn’t let them borrow the family SUV for that big date Saturday night (and now everyone hates them and they want to die) or they claim to have had some hard, thug life in spite of their growing up in the god damn suburbs. They all tend to blend together and sound the same anyhow, so what’s the point of working with them?

On the flip, older music tends to suck for just about the same reason. Lyrically, I can’t name a single artist from the last 30 years who written anything worth listening to, let alone coherent. The only reason groups like The Doors or Nirvana get so much attention is because their idiot fans have all grown up telling their kids “how great music was back in the day”. Kids, anyone who tells you something like “The Doors were one of the most groundbreaking artists ever” is full of shit, on drugs, both or trying to lie to you so you’ll buy more of those stupid Jim Morrison shirts.

Now, over the last month, I’ve written some 20 different articles about music, artists, albums and a few music headlines. For the most part, I think they’re well written and ready to be published. The problem is, they’re all really negative and make me sound like a cantankerous old man yelling at children to get off his lawn. No, that’s not me. I like to think of myself as a wonderful rainbow and sunshine flavored enema pumping joy and child-like glee up that candy ass of yours. This has forced me to rethink the entire focus of my music site. I now need to find another project to put my attention towards while this one is retooled.

The easy solution here is to dig up and idea from the old brain graveyard and work on that webmaster site I’ve been toying with for years. The subject is simple for me and finding others to help supplement it would be a cakewalk. I even own the domains already. All that really needs to be done is write the articles and build the site itself. That puts things in the range of two or three weeks till launch (depending on how the real world goes). Needless to say, I’ll be posting more details once I know them myself.
