QC Music Blog discussion thread
Johnny C:
To you, maybe. Personally I think Prine can be trusted as much as the police.
It doesn't imply that you can't appreciate other styles any more than suggesting that you liking steak supersedes liking broccoli. However, if you give steak as an example of something you'd prefer broccoli to taste more like, one can infer that you aren't really a fan of broccoli to begin with.
Jackie Blue:
Please follow along with what I am actually saying instead of putting words in my mouth.
It was suggested that I will never like the blog because the content will likely always be information I am already familiar with.
I linked a Freaky Trigger article to demonstrate that I can still be entertained by something which provides me with no new information.
At no point did I suggest that the QC music blog should be similar to Freaky Trigger in content.
Spinless:
Yes you did. You stated that you'd enjoy the articles if they were written in a style you liked. You then linked Freaky Trigger as an example of writing that you enjoyed. The implication is right there, whether it was intentional or not.
I like you, but you're flat out denying the events of this thread! You're a thread denialist! Next you'll tell me that we don't treat the attractive forum members any differently to the rest of us, or that the mass genocide of forum lurkers earlier this year never happened. YOU GUYS DIDN'T THINK WE WOULDN'T NOTICE? WE NOTICED! WE NOTICED ALL THOSE PEOPLE GO MISSING!

Yes, a STYLE that I like. A style as in, "funny", "entertaining", "amusing", "insightful", whatever. I most definitely did not suggest that the QC blog should cover Avril Lavigne.
Inlander:
I find all the discussion here about the "purpose" of the music blog to be somewhat amusing, if a little baffling. The very first post on the blog was Jeph's Mission Statement. The pertinent sentence is this:
--- Quote ---The mission of this blog is simply to talk about music.
--- End quote ---
I can't speak for Jeph, Tommy, or Kieffer, because I haven't discussed the blog with any of them, but in my own writing for the music blog I've never once sat down and thought "Who am I writing this for?" Perhaps I should. But my mind just doesn't work like that. I start writing something and see where it takes me, in a free-association kind of a way. The only audience I'm writing for is the audience that feels like reading my stuff. On some days that might include any one of you. On other days it might not.
The other contributors to the blog, for all I know, may have a completely different approach. Talking about some kind of unified goal or aim or audience for the blog is utterly misguided.
