I've been meaning to start a journal for awhile, but couldn't come up with an idea worth writing or reading about. Finally, I decided to use a journal as my way to explore genres of music that I have little to no familiarity with.
My plan is to chose a handful of important albums of each genre, either by recommendations from members, or randomly through the magic wonders of the internet, and then listen to and review them. Anyone with any rec's of any genres feel free to leave them so I can decide where to start with this. I'm hoping that not only will this give me an opportunity to get into new artists, but also allow for an intro into different types of music for others as well.
* I do need to say a big thanks to TH, as his
Love or Hate thread helped me quite a bit with coming up with the idea of this.
UPDATE
Genres I'm looking for:
- Grime
- Death Metal
- Electronic (Ambient, Trance, Electronica, or any other subgenre)
- Grindcore
- Post-Rock
- Anything that's very experimental or avant-garde, because chances are I haven't heard it.
