So Post All 'Em

Digging through my computer I found some reviews that I must not have ever posted. They're all reviews of old albums (like from beginning of this year) and there's also one from a show––The Blow––that I went to in February.

Enjoy.

This Is The Proper Way To Capitalize

So, from now on, sentences, proper nouns, etc. will be capitalized. The all lower case way was alright, but I got sick if it.

Visualizing the Depths of "Tristan"

"By Matthew Gurewitsch, Published: April 29, 2007

Staging Wagner’s 'Tristan und Isolde' is a notoriously treacherous proposition. A man and a woman are seized by a forbidden passion, are discovered and pay with their lives. That’s it––for three long acts, running four hours, give or take. Wagner thought of his cosmic rhapsody of love that kills not as a story set to music, but as 'deeds of music made visible.'"

-from the ny times. hey, i'd see it.

This Is The Excuse To Make Up Bands

I really love music, and sure, like a lot of people would love to be in a kickass band. So, here, on this very blog, I am going to introduce my own completely not-real record label, complete with bands, records, parties, gigs, albums art, track lists, etc. because, of course, nobody really needs the music part of the music world. Well, actually, they really do. But you can get that here too. And i want to make up some fucking cool bands!

This Is The First Post

I just made this blog a few nights ago. Havn't had to much time to write anything on here yet. Plus I was making important decisions about the blog, like: What should it be about? I decided it will be about my life, which is sorta boring, kinda, but kinda not, so it's also going to talk a lot about music, bands, shows, other interests, people/things I like/really hate, etc. Secondly, should I capitalize my sentences? Yeah, I guess. all lower-case is kinda cool too, i think. But caps are better. Also? I really like to write and I figure this would be an easy way to write a whole bunch of stuff. Anything else? Umm. The name of the blog? I had to come up with a good name. I think i did. It's just a really random song lyric that I had stuck in my head the other day (if anyone who can tell me which song it's from, they win a great prize), but it sounds cool and it also works well for a blog name––ya know, reading this as an excuse, or a distraction, from doing your homework, making dinner, selling things, taking calls, or whatever you're supposed to be doing with your time. Yup, so look forward to many more posts from The Excuse!
