Thank you Matt Murphy

Matt, you're right.  My first entry was lacking in the kind of informed criticism that makes it's writer appear to really understand his subject.  In regards to my anonymity, I have my reasons, and so do all the other bloggers who choose to blog anonymously.  Matt Murphy, this entry is for you.

Matt Murphy, you are a drummer and I think that's cool, man.  You've been in more bands this year alone than anybody else in the world combined.  In all of your bands you seem to fall into the same overly dense and ambitious style that is beyond your skill level to play cleanly and accurately.  I guess that's sort of a punk thing to do and I suppose I can at least make out the impression of what you're going for.  I think one of your current projects, VS the Volcano, is pretty neat.  I think it is uncontrollably loud, I think the pair of vocals are on to something.  I think if you stop pointing your vocal mic at your snare the vocals might make more sense.  But yeah, VS the Volcano sounds like a whimsical rage.  I think your drumming in The Send Offs is off-putting (get it?).  I think you're a smart guy and really kinda weird, both of which are expressed in this piece you wrote about Cats in the Basement (a band I'm sure I'll write about in the near future).  You're writing is as dense as your drumming, and often just as inaccessible.  

 

I don't know you personally, Matt Murphy, but I'm sure you're a nice guy that knows stuff.
