Guest Blogging on Noisecake

I spend the vast majority of my work day playing in Photoshop, so doing this blog is really just a way for me to keep in touch with my second language, English. A good writer, I am not. In fact, at times, I am a bit embarrassed about my skills, especially considering that a large portion of my friends actually make their living writing. I may be an impostor, but it is too fun, so the embarrassment takes a back seat.

Recently, I had the privilege of being asked to contribute to a new music site called Noisecake. Since I was free to write about anything, logically, I chose to chat about my favorite band, The Whigs, and their upcoming new release, In The Dark.

The cool thing about our new socially-networked society is how communication has become democratized. Everyone is a potential content dispenser. Everyone is a potential communicator. Everyone may be a connection to something new and interesting. Therefore, regardless of who they may be, when “everyone” makes a request, they need to be taken seriously.

So, when I couldn’t find an accurate release date for The Whig’s new album, I emailed my question off to the contact info I found on the Whig’s website and, to my surprise, drummer Julian Dorio responded back in minutes. Pretty cool. I haven’t even made a post yet and I am feeling like I’m some kind of Chuck Klosterman.

This music writer thing is kinda’ fun. Anyway, check out my upcoming posts on Noisecake and be sure to become a fan on Facebook.
