Upcoming Features...

I've finally come up with a use for this blog. I'm going to use it to keep me writing regularly. To that end, I've come up with two regular "features" I'm going to start posting.

The first feature, "Before They Were MP3s", will feature reviews and reminisces of old albums I own. I've been a huge lover of music for a long time, and it will be fun to dust off some old albums and see how they hold up a decade (or more) later. I'm going to do the reviews in the order in which I became familiar with the albums, not necessarily in release order. I'm starting with the year 1998, the first year I remember the excitement of buying a new CD and listening to it over and over again obsessively. I'll do two posts per week, tentatively on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Sundays will be dedicated to my second feature, "Where's The (Philosophical) Beef?" This is just a chance for me to expound on some of the philosophical ideas I encounter though pop-culture. In other words, this will mean me watching an episode of 30 Rock and trying to mine some sort of spiritual meaning out of it. I think this could be really entertaining, at least in the train wreck kind of way.
