Today I write to you after a week since my last post on CoCo Moore's new band Big Nils. The past several months of this blog has been very inconsistent. I want to blame work for the lack of new posts but I know better than that. Because when I want to do something I will do it, despite having time constraints. I write very systematically. That is that I have an outline and notes, and have to format reviews, news, etc in the same way. I don't simply just start writing. For me it's a very thought out process and thus a time consuming process. I'm very particular on how I want to express my thoughts. Sometimes I think too much about it and get to emotional over the words I want to communicate. Sometimes it's hard to vulnerable in this way. I can't even tell you how much I want to write about RVIVR and La Dispute, two of my current favorite bands. Their music speaks to me in ways that hasn't in quite sometime. I want to make this blog very personal and story-oriented. I want to have regular posts. I want to take risks in my writing. I don't want this to be something that I keep dwelling on. I just need to do it.
With that, I'm excited to get some posts up on Secret Country, How Do We Jump This High?,Born in a Cent, Melissa and Paul, Porchistas, Philth Harmonic, and Dead Ringer, among several others.
My friend Julie writes some great, personalized writing with thorough analysis on lyrics that is something I hope to similarly achieve. Check out some of her pieces on Kevin Devine, David Bazan, Manchester Orchestra, The Sun Parade, and more here: http://www.juliedworman.com/
Happy July. Be well.
