is this thing on?

testing 1-2-3...check, check. hey, is this thing on?

so. this would seem the right time to explain the whole purpose behind this blog. you know, the thesis, mission statement, or whatever. it's pretty simple really.

my world revolves around music--listening to it, making it, watching it, talking about it, you name it. so it seems to me that the next logical step is to write about it.

i'll pretty much write whatever the hell i want, when i want, how i want. could be anything from zeppelin to stravinsky to tuvanese throat singers to the garage band down the street. anything.

this isn't for anyone else but me. if a few people like it, great. if they don't, oh well. they can go to hell. if no one reads it (and this seems to be the most likely scenario), then i guess i don't have to think of a way to end this sentence.

that being said, i guess i'll begin.
