I’m just a dude who is passionate about music and hoping to improve my writing skills.
I have enjoyed a lot of different genres over the years, from nu-metal, emo, and metalcore, to indie, pop, and EDM, but for about 7 or 8 years I have found myself mostly gravitating to the same songs served up by Spotify and losing some of the variety I used to have.
With this blog I just wanted an excuse to force myself to write about (and thus consume) more albums and to think deeply again about what I listen to and how it makes me feel. Hopefully in doing this I also improve my writing ability, something I’ve wanted to practice at for a long time. Two birds, one stone.
I have to assume no one will ever actually read this as I know that it is very difficult to get people to read anything in this day and age, let alone get picked up in search engines, but with AI algorithms and auto-written slop increasingly filling every aspect of our lives, I just wanted to create something human and put it out in the world, even if it’s bad or no one ever sees it.
If you did, thanks for stopping by, follow me on socials, and check back often for thoughts on old and new music and general music-related things.
And yes, the name comes from an Armor For Sleep song.
