“Jazz” of the Online World
Posted on | April 29, 2008 |
I like the idea of blogs. I have to admit I find most of them deadly boring and self-serving (i.e. to sell ad space or rant on about how difficult the author’s life is), but the overall concept is appealing to me. I guess I see it as the jazz of the online world.
I’ve written and published a lot of articles for fairly well-know print publications: EQ, Tape Op, Sound on Sound…and some smaller one’s you’ve probably never heard of. (OK, that’s the self-serving aspect of today’s post.) Though I enjoy writing in the “article” format, I think it’s a lot more fun to just blurt out an idea and see where it goes. Sort of the theme (or “head”) of a jazz piece. If readers find it interesting, they can add to it (with complimentary or contrary momentum).
So, I certainly see myself committing to more structured writing (i.e. for “traditional publication”) down the road, for now I’m enjoying probably the closest thing I’ll ever get to being a jazz musician. Now where’d I put my needle…
