BigYawn

Five years and counting on this wild ride, and somehow I am back to the beginning. I started BigYawn in January 2004 with the intent of just having a blog to talk about music with the five or six friends who might actually read it. It ended up becoming a sizable venture with nearly 50 writers from all over the world contributing CD reviews, interviews and features. Good people, (almost) all of them.

But in the end, it was too much. Mailing CDs to 3 continents got tiresome. Let the Pitchfork’s of the world do their thing, I’d rather just write. No schedules, no pressure, just writing about what I’m passionate about. Music, obviously, but you might find posts on anything from general pop culture to my vacations to cryptozoology to Charles Dickens. But mostly music, new and old.

As I write this initial post, i am realizing just how pretentious this all is. As if anyone cares enough to read this slop. Aren’t blogs dead anyway?

Asshole…
