Starrynight, I did ask this before (not sure if it was you I asked) but I'm looking to branch out by listening to some non-English-language bands/artistes (all I've listened to so far is Josh Groban) for a new section I'll be running called "Musique sans frontieres", and would appreciate anything you can point me in the direction of. Basic rock or pop, or possibly male or female vocal, anything like that. Thanx

I think of re-starting my journal. I don't know what to do with it, I have no plans for it, maybe anything could happen.

Maybe do something around your musical experiences, artists that influenced you in one way or another or a review of your best ever artists or albums, or just mix it all up.

My musical experiences, would be divided into learning an instrument and collecting music. I'm not much of a collector by any stretch. I do like searching things out on my own, nothing is decent as to find hidden gem somewhere. Before youtube I would gamble on an albums from groups I never heard before I bought them. There are a few albums I found in the dollar bin or cut out bin that became my favorite. One album I found was by John Williams.

John Williams was born in Melbourne, Australia, and his family move to England in the early 50s. He was taught by his father and had the chance to study under Andrés Segovia.

If I could play guitar as well as John Williams can, I'd be really happy.

Me too. I wish I could play classical guitar like John Williams and compose music like J. S. Bach too.

Based on your posts on MB, you always seem to have a load of very interesting and sometimes wacky things to say. I'm sure you could put together a great journal.

i liked the Vivian girls & jo lemaire very good

im actually scared to start music journal here and have ppl call me out in all the sh*t idk lol

so props to you for even starting one.

it was an easy read btw, it seems it comes from a personal view and taste not like some reviews ive read that seem to be like frustrated music critics.. not to be a dick or anything, but i don't need to know every *****n detail in the recording process, and stats & facts you could get off wikipedia.

So says 'Me' the guy that never made a journal. U_U

lolol

Oi! Is that aimed at me???

Seriously, do NOT worry about what people will say if you start a journal. Chances are you'll get a few comments at first then it could very well dry up, comments-wise, unless it's totally brilliant. The important thing is just to write the best reviews/sections/reports/whatever you can, if necessarily only for you then for you: enjoy it, and if people see this in your writing they'll most likely enjoy it too.

I'm in the third year of writing my journal and I can tell you there have only really been a handful of comments, other than Unknown Soldier's almost regular posts. I dont let it bother me: I continue to write as I know I can, and watch the view count go up so I know people are at least reading if not commenting.

You shouldn't shy away from having a stab at a journal if you're interested in it. It's not that hard --- there are after all no real rules --- and it's a thoroughly rewarding experience, even if it can seem like a thankless task at times. You just need to set your frame of mind up properly.
