Entry #0: Blogs Are Everywhere

     Odds are you see a blog every time you open a search engine. Many news stations, personal update websites, and some social media platforms are all considered blogs. Almost everyone reads a blog or has a favorite blog, and they might not even realize it!

    Billboard, best known for their role in the music industry, is considered a blog. Music lovers all around, myself included, go to Billboard to see what's happening in the music world. They show this with their, "Top 10," style lists, both potentially being opinion or analytical based lists. For Example, their Billboard Hot 100 list is based on their number of streams. sales, radio play, and downloads. However, their list for The 14 Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows is clearly opinion based. Although they definitely lean toward having a more professional tone and style of wring, seeing as their writing feels like it's speaking to a wide audience, rather than the reader itself, they're still considered a blog. One of the most popular blogs even.

    But of course, there's other types and styles of blogs too. Magazines are a great example of another type of blog. Primer Magazine, for example, is probably closer to what people image when they hear the term, "blog." Primer Magazine is a mens fashion blog, giving advice, showing comparisons from now and the past, and they tell their readers when sales are happening. They have a more personal, "I'm talking to you," type of writing. It's that personal, casual feeling people get that makes it feel more like a blog.

    Blogs are everywhere. You're even reading one right now! There's arguably a blog out there for everyone, you just might not realize it's considered a blog. 

    Until next time!

Entry #1: Music is Cathartic

Image
      Everyone at some point in their lives has connected to music. Whether it's a song they listen to, a band or artist they admire, or if they actually play the music themselves. Music is so versatile that it helps countless people  everyday. I find playing the music myself to be more cathartic than just listening to it though.       Drumming has been a huge outlet for me. It can push you through certain emotions instead of just sitting with it. If I'm mad, there's nothing more satisfying than banging on drums and letting that aggression out. And if I'm sad, I can play a slower song. It forces you to concentrate on what you're doing  while also letting your feelings out. If you're happy and feeling good, you can play happy songs. The possibilities are endless.  Image source     This doesn't just apply to drumming though. This outlet can apply to any instrument. Or really anything that helps you push those feelings out. Drummi...

Entry 6: Mike Stringer's New Signature Guitar Collection

Image
 Hello Dark Passengers,      We see celebrities collaborate with their favorite brands all the time. Guitarists are no exception to this. With countless artist signature models out there, it's not very often that a guitarist gets a while collection of their own. Mike Stringer, lead guitarist of popular metal band Spiritbox, has just announced his signature guitar collection with Aristides Guitars. And this thing is definitely one metal guitarist won't want to miss!      Image source     What really is the difference between an artist model guitar and an artist guitar  collection? Aa artist or signature model guitar is one guitar, built to an artists liking, then made on bulk and sold as is. Current popular example of this would be Tim Henson of Polyphia with his signature model with Ibanez, the TOD10; Nita Strauss' signature model with Ibanez, the JIVA10; and Jared Dines signature model with Sterling by Music Man. An artist collection is...
