What you will not see is an overabundance of negativity. I would rather spend my time writing about stuff I enjoy and possibly turn someone onto something cool. That does not mean I won't be critical, its just that many of my earliest attempts (during my tenure at the illustrious Crunchface) at writing were fairly negative and hostile. Particularly, when it came to my music reviews. The language I used was coarse at best, and on more than one occasion, I should have been marched up to the bathroom to have my mouth washed out with soap. Although, Clorox would have been more effective, but I digress.
That doesn't mean that I am, suddenly, some sort of linguistic puritan who is above swearing and giving my honest opinion - I will be critical. I just think this space can be used for better things. The internet is already filled with a load of uninformed opinions meant to illicit a reaction. I've no interest in any of that bul... nonsense.
For the most part I will be covering older music, older films...older stuff in general. For those interested, I will review your stuff, but I will not deal with any downloading of music, e-books, e-comics, etc. I don't have the space on my hard drive and I am generally not interested in digital media, save for films. But, I don't anticipate any unsolicited submissions, so this is probably a non-issue.
Oh - really quick. I will also be including the occasional interview. However, the subjects will (for the most part) be folks from the Akron area and around NE Ohio. There might be an exception now and again, but unless Nick Cave calls or Mark Sandman rises from the grave to chat, I doubt you will see any deviations.
Yeah. That's it for now.
Thanks for checking in.
