Music reviews and ratings too?

I am toying with the idea (now, before this even gets going) of reviewing music CDs on this site as well. Just freely interspersed with the movies, and hopefully not taking anything away from the movie effort.

What do you think of that? I could take requests just like for movies, but chances are I will review and rate more of the type of music I like, simply because of interest and access.

I would try to keep it interesting to as many readers as possible, but not at the sake of boring myself or not reviewing some of my favorite personal albums (from all decades and genres). That's just the nature of the beast.

First!

Hah, I get to say that with confidence since I am the mastermind and creator of this blog and you are not!

The important idea to get across in any first post is what the blog will be about, and maybe how it's different from other blogs that are covering nearly the exact same material.

This is too bad, because first of all, nobody actually goes back and reads the first post after it's hit the archives, and all expect the blog's Raison d'ĂȘtre to announce itself in the framework of the site rather than lie buried somewhere in the content, for God's sake.

I've cleverly addressed this issue with massive foresight by putting the "Welcome!" box over in the right-hand sidebar.

Secondly, as a movie review site, that most cliché construct of all, I literally cannot think of anything that would make this particular review site different or special.

Except for the fact, that is, that I'm writing it, and I know what you are thinking better than you do most of the time, and even when we disagree, it's nearly always scientifically provable that I'm right and you aren't.

So I guess what I'm saying is, if you want one source which will tell you exactly how to think about a wide offering of movies past and present, then you are a total sheep. On the other hand, you'll probably agree with me due to my sheer powers of persuasion.

That and the fact that I'm objectively and demonstrably correct at all times.
