Unlike Before the Ships I didn't have a real strong idea of what this blog was going to be when I started it. It's about music, music I like, and which sometimes Rolling Stone or Pitchfork don't for what seem to me arbitrary and stupid reasons. It's called I Hate Rolling Stone, and I kind of do, for reasons I've outlined.
I guess I wanted a place I could talk about music my way, and time to figure out what that was exactly. I don't really know how to do Rock Criticism, except that everyone else seems to do it wrong, too. They think it's about telling people what they should and shouldn't like, and I think it's about talking about music I like, and I'm not doing it well yet, but I can't really do it worse, so, oh well.
So if anyone is reading this blog yet, forgive me. Give me some time, and I'll eventually say something about a band you like, and we'll be off and running.
