Welcome, kids.

So, kids, this is my first venture into letting people know all about how I feel about music goings-on and such a days. You might find lists, reviews, and commentary, and hopefully you'll like it all because someday I want to make money off of this (spare change anyone?). But in all seriousness, this is just yet another attempt by some nobody at keeping people updated with stuff they already know about. Most of my shit will be stuff that Pitchfork should give the time of day instead of reviewing obscure albums to boost their indie cred or reviewing pop tracks to show how "in touch with the mainstream" they are. My goal is a balance: what the masses should hear that so far only music snobs like myself know about. Accessibility is key. Want me to give you a good review? You need to make me think as much as you make me shake. There are a good few artists out there that seem to have achieved that happy medium, and also a good few artists that tried to achieve that happy medium and failed miserably. Hence my ability to give negative reviews instead of only posting shit I like. There'll be good shit and bad shit to talk about; I might even write for a while about nothing like I'm doing right now. What it'll probably pan out to be is my release of the week and my worst release of the week, then a couple numbered ratings and maybe some jabber on something obscure that more light could be shed on. First, though, I'm gonna be lazy and post my exhaustive lists about the top albums of the decade and year and such. Those will certainly be something to look forward to, so, without further ado, the New Music Scherch begins.
