Charles Mingus.
As you may or may not know, this blog is largely devoted to my taste in movies, one which I've tried to develop (to varying results, of course) over the course of several years. And if I'm still as thrilled about the thought of watching films as I've ever been--and I do think I am--I've also become more interested in music over the past few months. Soon enough, I think, I should be writing about albums somewhat regularly. Much like my early writing on film, chances are that a lot of the reviews will concern old releases, as I try to zero in on the past before turning my attention to more recent things, which, to this day, I've been unable to achieve even when it comes to movies. In any case, I expect most of the music reviews to be rather short, maybe a paragraph or two (no more than three, I promise). And, if nothing else, I hope it'll help me cement my affinity for a certain type of music.
And since I love, love, love lists, I'll soon be posting (in chronological order) an ever-evolving list of my favorite albums.
Oh, and my favorite album of all time is Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde (1966), so there's that...
a blog about lots of things, or nothing at all
