To be honest, I thoroughly enjoy writing blogs because it's a way to report stories with a twist of my, the authors', opinion.  And as we all know, everyone's got an opinion.  
In some ways it's difficult to write about the vast topics about the heavy local music scene, but once I pick a beat and focus on it, I find that writing it becomes quite natural.
Having blogged informally before, this is actually exactly how I thought it was going to be, but with the academic side and formal journalistic writing styles thrown in for good measure.
I feel that the topic I chose to write my blog about is something I could write about for years to come.  Being a part of the local music scene, I see that it is ever-evolving and there's always something new to write about.
I find writing about the local music scene extremely exciting because of how much talent that the local scene has.  There's always a new up and coming band around every corner.
I don't know everything about the local Colorado scene, so with that said I would like to learn more about how different bands go about doing things like writing songs, touring, and buying and selling their merchandise.
In the next two weeks, I would like to interview a band (Iamtheshotgun, or Allaegeon), or even do a member spotlight and get a day-in-the-life feel kind of thing going.  In any case, expect a lot more news in the weeks to come, and please feel free to leave comments and suggestions.

  1. It's crazy how much great music has come out of Colorado. I think that this is a great topic to write about. I went to school in Nebraska last year and people would always ask me if I knew anyone from The Fray. It was pretty funny. You should update us on local concerts or upcoming musical events! I'm excited to follow your blog.
