Being a musician myself, I’m quite familiar with the scene: you play a show, and some self-proclaimed music critic writes a less-than-discouraging review, and after you’ve read the article, you’re sitting there thinking, “What do you know? You’ve probably never even played a gig in your life much less a musical instrument.” So what makes me different from all the other self-proclaimed music critics other than the fact that I can relate to these bands on a different level?

Do you really just want me to tell you what you want to hear? Are you only interested in what I have to say when you agree with me? I not only tell the truth, I understand that in the end, we’re all here to enjoy music. So let’s stop criticizing and start listening to the point of enjoying. Believe me, it’s a lot more fun.
