Realizing that I have not posted here in a long time you might think I'd find something else to be obsessed with other than music. I mean, music has become like an idol or a goddess. A friend of mine said "Music is Life" and I almost believe it's true. But I have not felt much like "sharing" and I don't really know why. Part of it is because Blogger's new interface sucks. But I won't complain since all my blogspot blogs are still in print digitally. I don't think this sabbath will last very long because there's always a "next big thing" coming around the bend when it comes to music. What you won't find me here doing is judging my readers' taste in music. If you like something and you choose to think of it as "music" then it becomes music to you. I mean who would have thought that after a quarter century of critics dismissing Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music there would be legions praising it as the genesis of a new art form? Or the banging and clanging of metal upon metal of Einsturzende Newbauten being considered to be "art"? Not me, for sure. But when I gave this noise a name, ie Industrial, they spawned hundreds of imitators. Anyway I'm still not up to blogging full time but hang on because I eventually WILL and I think my best stuff is ahead of me. At least I hope so. Toodle-oo. James Arthur Casey, editor/blogger
