I've Always Been A Fan First And Foremost - Obsessing Over Bands And Seeking Out Bands, And Spending Hours And Hours Listening. When I Played Music, The Scope Of My Fandom Became More Myopic; I Was Focusing On The Bands We Were Touring With, Or The Bands On The Label. And You're Always Positing Yourself In Relation To Other Bands. Since I Haven't Been Playing, I Feel A Little Less Cynical. I'm Able To Seek Out Music And Approach It Strictly As A Fan.

And That's Fine, As Long As It's Within The Bounds Of Decency And Isn't Too Personal In The Vitriol. That's What Makes The Blog Interesting, And That's What Makes Reading It Interesting And That's What Makes Writing Interesting. You Don't Want Everyone To Agree.
