The main purpose of this blog is to review music. Since this is the first post I will introduce myself - my name is Bill and i'm an avid fan of music. Ironically, I believe that music is something I can't, and maybe shouldn't, describe since it's obviously a very subjective form of art. Saying that, I believe in the power of music and the impact it has on listeners and I feel it's my right to express my feelings and more importantly I believe that there are many bands/artists that I have encountered that many people have not. This leads me to another main gripe with the music industry - it is exposure. I'm not trying to sound like an elitist in any way, but being an obsessed fan of certain types of music, I can safely say that there is a lot of garbage out in the music world, but since we're so obsessed with things like image and other sorts of media propoganda, a lot do not realize they're being taken for a ride or, to put it in a very negative way, brainwashed. And it's not our fault! do we really have extra time to research music? things are getting better though, the decline of record companies, emergence of digital music and promotion tools such as Myspace, allows us to connect with anyone from a major group such as radiohead to some random musician in pittsburgh.
even though I describe my love of music, I must admit that I do not like or do not follow a lot of styles. I am mainly into metal but also love and will post about Folk, goth, celtic, alt-country, prog rock and anything else that moves me.
some of my favorite bands include Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Tiamat, My Dying Bride, Anthema, Dead Can Dance, Loreena Mckennitt, Satyricon and more - I tend to lean towards stuff Moody, Dark and expressive
I hope everyone enjoys my reviews
