Many of you know that I run my music blog, but I also help maintain a blog for short fiction writers as well. It's called 1,000 Words and it's something that I think this group would really get a kick out of. Each week, the staff posts a new image and would-be-writers have a week to submit a piece of prose based on that image to us. We started it as an exercise in breaking our writer's block, but it's soon developed into an obsession for us.If this sounds like your cup of tea, check us out at…See More
The Beatles are arguably one of the most beloved musical groups of all time and their entire catalog is being remastered/released on 09/09/09. As such, a few of the remastered stereo mixes have hit the net (Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road) and I was wondering what people thought if they've heard them. Was this a success? Is is ever a good idea to remaster classic albums? Does it change the intentions of the band? In the case of The Beatles, does it mar their legacy or does their artistic…See More

I'm an avid art lover, writer, and dreamer. I like meaningful conversations and silly freak outs. If you want to get into lengthy discussions about existence, your favorite album, or how great House MD is, I'm your man.
I used to maintain a 2nd blog for creative writers. Check it out, we had some pretty rad short stories. You can also follow me on Twitter @MikeDiGrande

I was referred to you and your blog by J Smith here on 20sb and I just wanted to say that I think your blog is really great. I'm an aspiring music journalist and I've even written a handful of reviews for URB.com so I can really appreciate the time you spend to share your opinion on something you're obviously really passionate about (as am I). Check out some reviews I've written if you'd like and keep up the amazing and honest work.
Your 'idol' is using the wah-wah... no wait.... the whammy bar.. right? :) My little brother is teaching himself how to play guitar. His has a whammy... and I bought him a wah-wah pedal for Christmas. Haha. I'm so proud that I can differentiate the two (as they are new to my vocabulary)!
Anyways, Hi. I'm Trisha. Nice to meet you. :)
I came across your page really randomly & really adore your blog. We have pretty similar taste in some music... I think you're one of the only people I've ever seen with a music blog that I'll actually enjoy reading :)
For real, it's my 4th time seeing BN and my first with MO. I'm pretty stoked. They actually canceled in Oct. because Jesse got H1N1 (which has ruined everything I love.) The only thing I'm sad about is a band called The Builders and the Butchers were going to open for them, and now they have another band i'm not so into opening.
I hate Pitchfork too. They can [Expletive deleted] my [Expletive deleted] until I [Expletive deleted], and then [Expletive deleted] all over them, leaving [Expletive deleted] all over their [Expletive deleted] faces. Hello, new friend.
yeah, I heard M.I.A wasn't too stoked about Tenacious D replacing the Beastie Boys, but things happen that were beyond BB's control. Nice she gave them some love, though!
