from the ashes of the deliriously overwritten asher white music blog 2013 - 2015 rises a devoutly underwritten asher music blog 2017 - (estimated given historical stamina) late 2017. you;re probably asking, asher, a precocious child like you, how bad could it be? allow me to provide a selection of choice lines from the ghosts of posts past:
on The Beatles:
"...the clapping at the end of the potentially problematic "Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" is clearly applause for Yoko Ono's stellar, devastatingly underrated vocal performance...
"..."Yer Blues" is a success, though "Yer Blues" was a success if and only if the prerogative of the song was to make the listener desire death as intensely John claims he does."
on blonde:
"aside from being a possible reference to frank’s notorious mysticism and reclusiveness after the unexpected impact of his 2012 debut channel orange, the first fully-intelligible & mostly-untreated line on ocean’s new LP blond serves as a powerful thesis for the following hour: the battle between presence and presentness, identity and image."
"thesis" is right. save it your junior research paper, am i right?
you see we covered a lot of ground, and i really explored my writerly voice, from misanthropic dostoevsky-preachess to just Brent DiCrescenzo??
now that ive settled into nice post-ezra koenig, ironically-earnest 17yrold amiability, i feel i'm significantly more equipped to muse in a less self-congratulatory way. as if that isnt an oxymoron!!
please enjoy this blog i mean
