Argument

I gave a lot of thought to what I should write about.  I guess it isn't worth stressing about, but I did.  Is this interesting enough? No, that's been covered too much.  I thought for a fleeting moment that I should continue with covering the drama behind the scenes of television news like I did in my 501 blog.  I’ve noticed that some of my classmates are wandering down similar paths from their earlier work.  I thought that while I have much more to say about TV’s shortcomings, I wanted to explore something else from scratch.

I decided on music, more specifically punk rock music, because I'm passionate about it. I've been more focused on baby-sitting overpaid television news anchors and my twin boys for the last few years and have lost touch with some of the newer things happening in the genre.  I selfishly want to follow this topic because there is so much to catch up on.  I want to review new records, some old ones, and get back in “the know”.  I want to explore what’s out there and try to become an authority on the subject.

I recently got plugged in to Spotify and have been hooked.  I can listen to things I wanted to buy back in the day and never did.  Likewise, there are plenty of bands to explore that I’ve never heard of and probably should have.  Another interesting site I was turned on to is Soundcloud.  I can listen to the latest that bands or individuals have to offer.  I know there are other outlets to discover.  My goal is to find and discuss them over the next 12 weeks.
