  1. Nice. I'm an admin on a baseball related Facebook page, so, I can respect something like a music blog.
  2. Great first post, Matt. It could easy relate to any music fan and that's what you want. Your posts that I've read in the past have been great - very well written, coherent and straight to the point. I'd like to see you do a few reviews too
    Thanks for the mention of mine: I do it because I want to get somewhere and it is a portfolio for me. Hopefully it improves my writing until when I finish uni and I get a music journalism job out of it. Music journalism is notoriously difficult to get into but it is worth trying my hardest to get into. For those interested in viewing my blog, it is thereviewal.wordpress.com.
  3. I can announce my Winter Olympics sickness seems to have hit early. The last two times I've been really sick were the last two Winter Olympics. Well, 38,3C says it's time again. Dammit, I'm on holiday next week, there's no need for illness yet.
  4. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Finally decided I would start a bit of a music blog btw. Nothing hardcore or super official, but I used to write music reviews for our paper and I miss it a lot. This will be a lot more narrative-style than just reviews (plus Kieran is the boarder that has that market cornered, anyway), but the first post does happen to be about U2 so what the hell. Here's the URL.

  5. OMG, I'm nearly at the verge of shedding a tear. You've described my exact feelings when listening to bootlegs, and found the exact words to describe my surroundings' (friends, family, etc) relationship with U2. And well, that "Yes! He ALWAYS cued the song in like that!" and the Desire/Streets details have made me grin like stupid. Way to go Matt, way to go. Happy blogging! You have a faithful reader in me
  6. Thanks for the love, guys! I'll try to keep you updated on the writing without seeming like an attention whore.
  7. ^ T'was a good read and ye've got a knack for this stuff.
  8. I'm a little late but that was a great read, Matt.

    Your mention of the Elevation tour reminded me that I put this together and uploaded it over two weeks ago... Then forgot about it. It's a matrix of an Elevation show I love. There was an audience recording and an IEM, but I thought they might compliment each other quite nicely, so I laid them over one another in the above linked first draft and hoped for the best. It's a rough cut and any suggestions you lot might have on how to refine it will be more than welcome. I should mention that the song in question is Bad. A great performance of it as well.
  9. My buddy got fucked over by the college well honoring his military obligations. I feel I should write them a nasty letter or something.
  10. ^ Writing nasty letters to every single person and ranting at them is the only way things get done.
  12. Reading that right now Matt as I procrastinate studying! So far I LOVE what you've written about U2, can't believe someone else can put it into words so immaculately. Will definitely keeps tabs on your blog!
