On the Necessity of the Pop Music Blog

Take a look at this sweaty guy.



He is me.

This picture illuminates why I want to write this blog. It's the visual equivalent of how much I care about popular music.

I think about it all the time, and I want to discuss it with like-minded folks.

Which would be you.

Won't you join me as I roam the pop landscape? There's so much ground to cover, from rock to rap, from college folkies to all the dead hippies whose records my parents still love.


I want this website to be a place for thoughtful, exuberant discussions of pop. Let's discuss how we both feel and think about the songs, albums, and artists that matter.

Anything goes except rudeness, name-calling, or an inability to see that other people are allowed to disagree with your opinion. Beyond that, the gates are open. Let the discussion begin.
