Greetings folks,
In this blog, we shall all be collectively embarking on a journey down the roads of popular music of the last 50 years or so, a journey that started approximately a month-and-a-half ago with the inception of this little thing I call "The Music Deep Dive".
Starting with the self-titled debut album of Elvis Presley from 1956, I have been chronologically working through a slew of records with the goal of accruing a much broader array of knowledge about the landscape of popular music. As of the date of this post (April 28, 2018), this journey has constituted precisely 386 albums, with more being added to the list as time goes on. While I was not able to write down all of my thoughts regarding those albums (and thus they will not be mentioned here), henceforth I will attempt to chronicle my listening endeavors in this little blog thing, in a way not too dissimilar to the little blurbs a certain Robert Christgau was putting out back in the 1970s. Hopefully my grading will be a bit more lenient than his, but I digress.
If you enjoy the content, please let me know! I really appreciate feedback of all kinds, and if you see something about my writing that you think should be worked on, I am all ears and then some. For now, though, please sit back and enjoy if you wish.
