You’ve got a taste… now how do we keep bopping?

Before I get into anything, I want to take one last chance to sincerely thank anyone who’s made it here. Your kindness and engagement is what inspires me to share my passion and my feelings with a wider audience. I hope that my content can serve as a bridge to new music, or perhaps even a way to engage with music you already know in ways you haven’t until now. Like I’ve mentioned before, music is about how it makes you feel, and I think that establishing that relationship helps open up a listener to new experiences with music.

That being said, I figure it’s only fair to provide a little forecast for y’all on what content to come will look like, both in form, and in interval. Now, I am only one music nerd, so I won’t be constantly cranking out content, but, in hopes I can continue to have y’all come back around, I want to make sure it stays regular if nothing else.

The Plan

Each week, I’m going to aim to post something at least once out of each of the categories below

1. Album Review
   • Your standard music blog fare. It could be a new release, it could be a classic, just depends on the week. They’ll vary in form, with some taking more of a long form, track-by-track analysis approach like my NOACF review, and some taking a more succinct, overarching approach. What every review will include is a RIYL (recommended if you like), a list of my favorite standout tracks, and a grade out of 10
2. Top 500 Album List Highlight
   • For those that aren’t aware, earlier in 2020, Rolling Stone released its newest iteration of the Greatest 500 Albums of All Time list. A friend inspired me to take the trek through the full list. Experiencing what could potentially be the greatest collection of music ever made, if nothing else, will give me the chance to explore sides of music I haven’t before, and I want to share those experiences with all of you. Here, I won’t clog the site with a review for every album, instead I’ll focus mainly on LPs that stood out, whether for good or bad.
3. New Music Releases
   • What’s music without discovery? Every Friday, it’ll be my privilege to share a collection of new tracks, EPs, or records that I think deserve a spin. Nothing in crazy detail here, just a blurb about what makes them worth a listen, and a quick RIYL.

In the future, I hope to create some content for live music, but given the current live music scene, that may take the backburner until our country gets healthy enough to stave off COVID risks at shows. Hopefully, y’all receive this well enough for me to break out into some new content styles as well! But hey, we’ll grow together on that one. Without further ado, let’s get the bops going…
