I'm going to level with you guys, if there's any of you left. I don't know what I'm going to do with this blog.

I'm not cut out for journalism, as much as it pains me to say it. I never really was, and it's distracting from both my  work as an author an from my love of music.  I'm sure I'll get back into something music/media  related but It won't be for a while. I Have to finish my other projects before i can hold down two jobs like this. 

At the same time, I  have this love of music  in me and I have writing. I'm not sure what I'm going to do so just please do me a favor and keep this on your feeds or whatever. Check back every so often. I don't think there'll be anything for a while  and who knows, maybe it'll be somewhere else entirely. I'll link here if it is. 

Anyway thanks for sicking with me for the past few years, Hopefully I'll  find something that won't disappoint you and will  scratch that music itch. 

thanks for you time guys,

Quality vs. Quantitiy

Guys, I've been thinking.

I've been trying to post roughly every Wednesday and I feel like things just don't seem right lately and it's half posts about not posting half posts that sound...off?

Barring any albums that come across my desk/impromptu shows,  Your humble narator will return in March.

I'm sorry about this guys, but I don't want to produce anything less than my best.

Update

So last week I had the plague and missed  a post. It also gave me time to think more about this lil blog. I want to go for quality, not quantity. So, I'm skipping this week in terms of Armchair Music Theory.  Expect a minor revamp soon. Review coming up sunday.

Music Wednesday (early edtion): Album Review: –Geocities– Oui Oúi

Oui Oúi-- Geocities (4/6)

Guys, Geocities is free here. The rest are sliding scale.  Go buy their music.

Oui Oúi is an independent "ambient/drone/electronic" duo hailing from St. Louis, MO. I was gifted their six track album (on cassette tape no less) from a friend this Christmas.

This, right here, is why I like electronic music so much. It’s pure innovation. Unlike a lot of music it it's genera though this little album doesn't make the mistake of becoming cluttered but still maintains the strong layering that electronic music is known for. An excellent balance of the rasping drone work and a stead background loop that layers on itself beautifully makes this little underdog a real gem.

Overall, I love it. Geocities has a cinematic, but not overbearing feeling that is very easy to get lost in.
