I can't tell if there is a great deal of traffic to this blog but I greatly enjoy writing my often offensive opinions about music here so, readers or not, I, *ahem* I mean we, are back. I know that TBOTZ has been very busy with his final semester of college for the last few months and a big congratulations goes out to him for graduating with a BA in Political Science! I had almost forgotten about this little endeavor and then one day I was stricken with an urge to write about some tunes that I had been peeping lately and there it was, in all of it's glory, the Big Ears Analysis Report Daily.
I have been diligently trying to write a poignant and tasteful article about this and that but have yet to really get the hang of this "positive" lifestyle. I'm still the same old cynical DHAGZ with a lot of terrible things to say but I realized thanks to a post by someone named 'Melanie' that I could probably obtain more honey if I didn't kick over the bee's nest. I can't quite give Melanie all of the credit. Actually, I had decided to attempt being a little less abrasive a couple months ago and then I read her comment and that was the final straw on the camel's back. Still, I feel it necessary to elaborate on exactly what will be going down here in the near future. I WILL continue to be honest, if I listen to your band and I don't like it, I will tell you what I don't like about it because the world doesn't need ANYMORE mediocrity. We're full up. If your band is good and going places I will be lavish with my praise. We've all got opinions Melanie and you care about mine far less than I care about yours, I'm sure. I may call some people fat and cause them to kill themselves or I may cause them to go to the gym. A little constructive criticism never hurt anyone. However, I realize that I may have been more critical than constructive and therein lies the need for change.
Furthermore, I have to say that the comment from miss Melanie got me slightly on the defensive about my knowledge of music. She seems to think I know nothing about the game or the players when I am as well a very relentless player myself. For the record Mel, I am a musician, I can recognize talent when I hear it and doll, I promise you that I AM IN THE KNOW when it comes to righteous tunes. "I'm the Osiris of this shit!" To quote the great Wu-Tang Clan. So, we will let bygones be bygones and sally forth to the future of this nearly forsaken blog. Consider this a welcome back post and expect at least two updates in the next week.
Your friend and confidant,
DHAGZ
