Much Ado About Music Casey Dorrell

Well, this is my new blog. The tenative plan is to stay on the topic of music. I don't really get why people post diary entry-style stuff online. For one, everyone sounds like 15 year-old kid when they're depressed and, let's face it, most of us are depressed a lot. Whining and bitching, even the sort that sounds really fucking cool in your head, usually just sounds whiny and bitchy when you write it out. Think of a time that you were really upset about something (barring deaths and the like) that's at least one year ago - if you wrote about it, go back and read it. Embarrased? probably. Beyond that, does anyone really care that much about all the banal details of your life? The only reason most people read and comment on your page is because they want you to do the same on theirs. It's all an elaborate exercise of insular self-congralulatory narcissisism. Anyhow, time will tell how this develops - whether it stays on music, dies out, or becomes an exercise in self-love like most people's blogs. For now, I've disabled the comments ability so you (and I) can pretend lots of people are reading it. I'll enable it sometime soon.
