Blog 2.0 on www.imeem.com

So I used to keep my blog here, and for a while a couple years ago, I was really on top of my stuff and posting a song every day. I like to just post songs that I really like that I think other people may be into as well, and I try to write something about them to make it clear what I appreciate and enjoy about them. So I eventually found myself feeling obligated to post and stressed out, which sucked. So I let myself off the hook a little (although, since I am the only one who really gave a shit about it in the first place, not much of a hook) and posted just when I felt like it, but it turned out that I felt it less and less.

Anyways, I have been feeling it lately. Wanting to write something, to express something, and I figure that this is a great place to start. It gets me more into my music and pushed me to listen to more of it and to find more. And I love the idea of sharing with people if anybody actually sees this and hears a song they hadn't before and they find something new that they like. And the nice thing here, it is like a diary but better in some ways. Better because although it feels great to get something written down and expressed outside of yourself, in the world, so that it is not in your head anymore, it feels even better sometimes to give that expression to someone else. And just like email, which I could easily shit on for a ton of reasons that we all shit on email, it has the benefit of FEELING like your expression has been received on some level right as you post it. So feel free to never check this at all, or to not even read this in the first place, this forum for expression is its own reward. And this is all to say that I am excited to get back at it, posting some good music that I am excited to write about and to share.

I'll be posting on imeem whenever I am inspired to do so, no real idea how often that will be, but there it is. I am gonna do it all on imeem from now on because it is such a great way to be able to listen to music, it is legal, and it is a great way to find and check out songs that you sometimes cant find other places, or that you wanna check out before you buy (and if you do buy I strongly recommend amazon over itunes because it is cheaper, higher quality, and without and DRM!). I hope that if you do end up checkin this out you will take advantage of imeem and sign up and find yourself some cool new music on here. There is a ton and not ALL of it is Soulja Boy-related. Honest.

Hope the 4 people who check this out enjoy it, I'll try to get some good stuff up here and keep it comin. Take care, internets.
