I’m cleaning out my Tumblr page. Re-imagining, if you will.

On the other side, you’ll find I’m not following anyone, and I’ll post things I happen upon that I find interesting. My tags might change, the content might change, but it’ll still be me (so it’ll still be the same, probably).

Also, sorry for all the meinmyplace girl posts. Not that they’re not pretty, but that shouldn’t be the point of this blog or the tag #girls.

The point is to express who I am, and establish both a professional and social presence on the internet. 

Maybe it’s because I’m bored in class, but I just realized something. The music industry is still lagging, whether in decreased concert attendance, or CD sales, or increased pirating of digital music… and I’m completely okay with it.

Here’s my rationale: There are Artists out there that enter the industry to become famous and make boatloads of dough. There are also Artists out there that enter the industry because they love their music and their fans. If the industry lags, the first kind thins out, and the second kind prospers. That is music to my ears (sorry).

If an artist that used to be making millions of dollars in CD sales or concert revenue is losing some of those millions? Honestly, you don’t need that much MORE money, focus on making good music and being in sync with your fans! 

All the artists who are embracing technology to interact with fans (and give them free music, they know they’ll get it anyway) and who are trying to make new music and searching for new sounds, keep at it. I love you. Their message is clear: If you actually like my music, buy my album to support me. For those artists I support and love, I will absolutely shell out (dough) as long as they don’t sell out.

Maybe it’s because I’m bored at work. Maybe it’s because I’m listening to a good mix of old and new rap on my iPod. Maybe it’s because I just saw a hot girl.

Regardless.

I solidly believe that if I ever meet a hot girl that can spit some of her favorite rap lines to me, I’ll fall in love. (and I’m not talking the latest popular rap on the radio, I mean the stuff you have to get albums to hear or even some old-school stuff). It’s all down to personal taste of course, but if I catch you rapping along to anything from Jay-Z or Lil’ Wayne to Grandmaster Flash? Overkill. Of desire.
