Statement of Purpose
I. Introduction
Hello, I am sawmill, or millsaw, as my name must be. I like music. I love to talk about music. I do not play music. The music I listen to is great, if you ask me (people rarely do, perhaps that's why I'm blogging to no one). It's mostly sad stuff, ranging from emo (king) to folk and a bit of everything else. I graduated college very recently with a Bachelor's degree in English and a concentration in Creative Writing. I do not have a job where I get to write. This is sad, but I'll persevere.
II. Intent
I intend to inundate you with the inane and never use big words like that again. I hope to make you like new music. I hope to make new friends. I hope to be heard and help other people speak up. We aren't making grand statements in any conventional sense, but to me, music can be a grand ol' statement if you let it.
III. Expectations
There will be ironic listicles, bad jokes and some questionable taste, but in the end you will like me or dislike me quickly. I hope to produce content that's somewhat original with reviews of albums that are not reviewed frequently by the big guys (in this case, those big guys are sites like absolutepunk or Pitchfork).
IV. Preview of my Purview
Maybe you're unclear about 'content that's somewhat original,' that's okay--I am too. In this world, we hear a lot of the same thing, and I'm choosing to write a lot about a 'revival,' so how do I keep myself from repeating myself and everyone else? With a little inspiration from the trendy new Internet that formats viral posts like mathematical equations. No, you won't see 'The 43 Most Influential Cap'n Jazz Chords,' but you will see things that let me get the word out on albums you might not know about.
So, what do you get to read from me first?
My whole inspiration for this blog came from a shower thought. Thinking of Cloakroom's latest analog art-piece in shoe-gaze 'Further Out,' I was reminded of how many album covers feature people lying down. Not that many, but enough to give me a title: Six and Supine: Six Albums You Might Like that Feature People Lying Down on the Cover. Hard hitting stuff. Look for it soon, and expect to see Cloakroom on there. Maybe go listen to them now.
