You know what, Twitter? I like you. You’re not like the other sites, here, on the internet.

Oh no, not this again.

It’s not all bad is it?

Just stop with that.

Fine.

Your mission is a failure.

I get it. Ask a question.

What is there to even ask?

Now we’re getting somewhere…

No. NO. We’re not. It’s worse.

Worse than the old blogs?

So much worse. A little worse.

There’s only so much worse.

Yes.

We’ve found some common ground then.

We…aren’t enemies! I just…read the… Just review some records.

THIS ISN’T OVER.

What is the purpose of this blog?

Oh…this?

I’ll ask the questions.

Sure.

Well?

I’m going to review my entire record collection.

Really?

Nah.

Fuck you.

Well, I’ll give it a shot.

Will you?

It’s hard to prioritize to be honest.

Goddamnit.

…

I hate you.

Let’s work this out.

If you can’t prioritize writing it, why would anyone prioritize reading it?

Now there is an excellent question.

Why…thank you.

No, fuck you.

What th—

I had to get you back for earlier.

You seemed to have taken it as part of a good-natured but verbally hostile exchange.

Yeah, but then I thought about it. And I wasn’t really paying attention.

Don’t worry, I’ll make it a multi-parter.

Updating…

Um, Bloglines died of course, I was was just listing my subs in the sidebar here before…now I’m redoing it. It’s just going to be a mess it I sort out how it should work and hopefully becomes more of a stable thing. If I don’t make it a list with some kind of limit I’ll just have hundreds of subs and it’s complete chaos rather that the ideal 10 to 67% chaos.

I might be worse at even math than at writing, but it’s how the numbers come out.

Oh man, titles. There’s an art. I could tell you…man.

I’ve painted myself into a corner. It was the perfect plan: paint self into corner, then enjoy some sweet, sweet standin’ & lookin’. Is there anything more satisfying than that first step onto tasty, fresh, completely dry floor paint after witnessing the full majesty that is the paint drying process? I think not.

But enough about my life, let’s talk internet. I announced the end of meta posts— so this can’t possibly be one—and have started working on a review. But I can’t seem to get through it without a particular meta topic polluting it to the point of total distraction.

It’s social networks. I used to have a consistent standard of rules for these things. If it got stupid, I would just quit that one and start over. Things seem to be getting more stable with these sites…and this is the problem. Networks in real life are fuzzy and chaotic. People come and go (or don’t) often for no reason. I felt like I had reached some kind of emotional maturity about this stuff in real life and it applied the same way online. But that was years ago.

I now have a different set of friend-adding rules for each profile. I’ll be going into these in this new ‘networks’ category. Been trying to sum it all up in one post but this is obviously an evolving subject. All of this is about different aspects of culture and finding (a) place(s) in it. Music is a part of culture and recordings are really just concrete artifacts of specific social networks actualizing themselves. I want to share my experience with something that can be experienced by others; you can listen to the records and have your own experience. If you’ve already had the experience you can share it in the comments or link from your own site or whatever. If you haven’t heard the record, me telling you about it is part of your experience. (You could leave that part out, I’ll never know.) Everyone’s experience is valid.
