Bienvenidos

EDIT: This post is now somewhat irrelevant since I have changed the title of this blog. Just so you know.

Welcome to "Music in the Third Millenium", or - as I like to call it - "The Magnum P.I. Theme". Seriously - this blog could be over, right now. The aforementioned theme song is quite possibly the best piece of music ever written. (Don't get on my case about the fact it wasn't written in the third millenium, either - seeing as this isn't even really the third millenium anyway. Forget about it.)

I stole the name for this blog from a Joe Strummer song. If you know it, great. If not, I encourage you to go buy his records. The Clash, the Mescaleros, all excellent music. It's too bad Joe himself couldn't stick around longer. I always wanted to see him in concert, but you know what they say - ah, crap. This thing fell off my chair again. It's one of the little black buttons that conceals the gigantic screws that hold it together. Ok - there. All good.

Now, where was I? My mom told me today she thought I was going to be successful in music because I had such an open mind about it. That was awful sweet of her. Meanwhile, I'll keep on keeping on. I'm in the master's program at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm studying composition, which always gets a great reaction when I tell people. I've also got some side projects in the works, so stay tuned. (I guess you could say that was some sort of play on words. I say it's late and I'm tired, so I don't know what it is, but I hope it's funny.)

Well, this is getting pretty long for an introduction, so I'll close by saying that all the music at http://www.homestarrunner.com is really really good. Even the stuff that's bad on purpose - I can't get enough of it. You might not think it's all that cool - but you're on my turf now. And I bet their stuff is more popular than you or I might think.

Ohhhhh - if you want it to be possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction, then it's I-T-apostrophe-S! Scalawag!
