My favorite was “Improve [...]

So, putting the millions of times I’ve bashed people with blogs aside, here I am. I decided it might just be a good way to start writing music criticism (and whatever else I can) and getting my writing out there. I mean, hell, myspace works for bands, right? So here we go… This is my [...]
