This blog is dead.

In the past year, I’ve learned that writing about music is much different than listening to music. In short, taking these records that I like (subjectively) and forcing them into an objective public critique is something that I simply don’t feel like I’m good at, even if the enthusiasm is there. I value music critics and honest opinions, but when it comes to asserting these opinions in a public space (such as this blog), I can’t seem to do it without feeling like it’s a sales-pitch. I’ll play in bands, I’ll go to shows, I’ll design the artwork, I’ll record it, I’ll mix it, I’ll stay up all night and dub cassettes for bands that I like and carve out j-cards with an xacto knife. That’s the process that I like, from start to finish, so I’ll continue with that at tapedeco.com. As far as having an opinion on all of it? Nah. Good or bad, music speaks for itself.
