    In the queue

    I have a few ideas for several blogs. And not just individual blogs, but blog serieses. Or series’. Or is it series’s? Anyway.

    First and foremost I am finally going to respond to Dr. J’s original Facebook note about the “Top 15 Albums that have changed my life.” I will do this by giving each album a blurb, and it’s own article on this site. Expect to learn more about me and the album in question. Some will be albums I am sure most of my friends and readers (assuming I have any readers that are not also friends) are familiar with, and some maybe not so much.

    Second, I am finally going to being my Dashboard article. It will be broken up into 4 or 5 blogs about each particular element I start mulling about my mind last year. (I’ve also begun reading “Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo” by Andy Greenwald so I’m going to take into account what this writer says about Emo before beginning my deconstruction of Carrabba.

    Lastly, and this is one I am very excited about, I am going to write what I perceive to be the differences between “Punk” vs. “Hardcore” vs. “Metal” vs. “Rock” and each of it’s subgenres through the creation of a handy chart similar to the Heavy Metal Band Name Flow Chart found here.

    You, Mr., or Mrs., or Ms. or whatever reader must keep me accountable to these very important, interesting and life-saving articles I will write. Please do this to save both your own souls and mine.

    these sound great man. i’m really looking forward to what you’re gonna come up with. My question is this: what do you mean by deconstruction and how is it different from the kind of critical analysis that journalists or cultural historians do?

    Well, in the first usage of it when talking about Carrabba I mean that I am going to take apart many of the presumptions about Chris’s character, mostly through humor, and try to portray him in a light I haven’t seen.
    The second use doesn’t make sense really, so I’ll remove it. I should know better by now, and I should also know to avoid philosophical terms because you’ll come in behind me and use terms I don’t understand…
