With that said, I am doing it again. But this time I have a fun plan.
I have purchased a handful of vinyl records of artists I know absolutely nothing about: zip, zero, nada! I will approach each one and do a full write up - no matter how awful it might be. I found the first four in the library sales rack for $0.25 each. I'll be going by garage sales and picking out the most obscure titles and artists I can find.
I know your next question, and that means you have to come back in December. During the NaNoWriMo process, I simply write (and you can write... for inspiration), and next month I will edit my notes and ramblings.
Here is my tentative approach to each record:
- I go through each of the songs. I'll highlight some of the lyrics and try to be as serious as possible in my discussion of each record.
- I will look into the main artist(s) and subsequent musicians involved. Are they known studio musicians, do they have names like "Slippery" Mike or "Slappy" Pappy? What is their talent level?
- The songwriters, if different than the artist, will be sure to get my attention.
- The miscellaneous section will be if there are any known trivia facts about the artist(s). Were they in jail, did they do something regrettable that destroyed their career, where are they now, etc..
- I then do a quick wrap up and give my final thoughts.
If you have something obscure and painful you wish to share with me, you should know how to find me by now.
See you in December with some music reviews.
