The Music Scene


Hi. Guess what? I’m not really qualified to be writing music reviews. Some mean spirited freaks would argue that I’m not qualified to write ANY reviews, but I think when it comes to music, more than any other field one might be critical of, I’m all emotion and no knowledge. Don’t get me wrong, I play musical instruments, have taken several classes, can read musical notation, all that crap. But in the end it boils down to what I like. I don’t know what constitutes a symphony or a sonata. I can’t orchestrate. I’ve never been taught the vagaries of musical theory, and the modern genre explosion to hit the house/techno world has left me cold and alone.

But I’m gonna do it anyway. Because, well, even if I haven’t the skill to tell you why a group is good, I can still pick ‘em. I know enough about the playing and appreciating of a variety of instruments to discern skill and talent (or the lack thereof) plus there’s still enough out there which is relatively unknown that perhaps I can introduce a little variety into the mix; strange, funny or exceptional things that might have been missed otherwise, so enjoy.
