Introduction, Disclaimer, and Me

|
Well, i finally got a blog. I've been talking about it for a while and thinking about it even longer. I finally decided that i might stop talking about music to everyone i meet if i just wrote about it.



The title is musica miscellanea (no, i cant spell it either), meaning a pretty random assortment of music related info. I plan on covering whatever comes to mind, be it album reviews, news, today's musical idiot, lyrics that make me sick, conspiracy theories surrounding kurt cobain, the local music scene and its issues, countdowns, and any other tasty tidbits that i come across.

This isnt about music in general. Its whatever crosses my path. I'll just go ahead and say that this blog will mainly be about modern and alternative rock, simply because that is what I listen to. There will definitely be articles and posts about other genres and artists thatn those, partly because pop music has the weirdest news, no thanks to britney.

Another thing i will be up front about is language. I will often post about Christian music, but I also listen to decidedly un-Christian music. My best excuse is that almost all what I listen to is real. The content that will be in question will almost always revolve around some strong emotion or life experience. Also, my policy when posting lyrics, interviews, or news reports will be to edit all but the first letter of any foul word in question. If you have a problem with this, dont bother reading.
I will say this, one of the reasons I am finally starting this is because I believe that music is something powerful. I believe its a vehicle that can take you places. You just hold the steering wheel. I know its played a crucial part of my life (as cheesy as that sounds) and that it may have even shaped part of my character despite I've only been listening to what i listen to now since March of '05. I believe that there are times when emotions cannot be conveyed with words along, it takes notes, and emotion. I think that a well written song can speak volumes more in three chords than a letter can in 3 pages.

All that out of the way, lemme get this posted. I'm ready to actually write something other than a disclaimer.
