The shape of blogs to come

I go and stick up for the guy and what does he do for me? He gets himself busted for juicin’. C’mon Rafael! Why’d you have to go and do a thing like that?

Next topic: Does anyone even listen to the music that I post? I sometimes get the feeling that all of y’all out in Bloggerland just aren’t interested. All I am trying to do is share some new (and old) favorites with everyone. I read a few good MP3 blogs out there and just want to give a little back to the community.

Now, even if no one reads this or listens to the songs that I post, I will keep posting. I’m good like that. So this week I present to you two artists that predicted/influenced/changed the directions that there particular genres of music. Ornette Coleman released The Shape Of Jazz To Come in 1959 and caused quite a stir with this “difficult” (but beautiful and ultra-melodic) album. Refused released their genre-defying punk/hardcore manifesto The Shape Of Punk To Come almost 40 years later, but it’s impact on the world of hardcore has been no less significant that Ornette’s was to jazz. Judge for yourself though.

    Yep, that Palmeiro’s sullied his good name and all asunder. He should dalliance out of town in the quickest horse carriage for a while, and maybe those HOF voters will give him a break in 2020 or so.

    I never got the Refused reference until now. Thanks for continuing to enlighten me.

    We listen to your tunes, Eric. Suck in that bottom lip and keep it up. Good stuff.

    Of course, you know I like the Coleman selection more than the Refused. That’s me.

    JT – I retract all previous comments about how Palmiero should be in the HOF.

    CBT – I ain’t going nowhere.

    SV – Thanks for the honesty. I’m just trying to present some new and old favorites of mine for the world to hear.
