Inspiration for the Blog Nation

First off thank you so much for coming to check out my new blog!  I decided my first post would be a little diddy about why I decided to start doing this.  Reason one:  I love music.  Reason two: I used to do a blog for a website that I was on.  I was required to write a blog once every week or so and I never knew what to write about, so I always ended up writing about bands/artists/music videos/whatever.  so, I figure why not just start blogging about only music. 

I like to think that I have one of the more eclectic tastes in music.  From folk, to jazz, to rap, to musical theater, I pretty much like it all.  I have on various occasions caught myself spending hours on youtube watching rap battles, or clips from Musicals, or even just watching music videos of people I've never heard of.  (I know I shouldn't admit that but what the hell.)  So, in all of my exploration around the interweb I think I've collected a pretty good number of groups/siungers/bands that a lot of people haven't heard of.  Now, the fact that I enjoy them so much and no one else has heard of them makes me feel special to a certian extent, but at the same time I want talented people to be successful.  So, I decided I'm going to use my vast sphere of influence to spread the word about these people.  Okay maybe not vast, but at least you'll enjoy it, right mom?  I'm gonna post videos, pictures, links and pretty much everything juicy I can find on these people so that if you like them you can go support them.

So, I hope you enjoy it.  It will be trial and error for a while as I try to perfect the best way to do it, but if nothing else it will be new people and there will be lots of free stuff given out...okay scratch that, there will be no free stuff given out other the the free musical knowledge that I'm throwing your way.

Thanks for reading and here's a little something to start us off!

Kanye "Power" music video
 - this dude has amazing music but is such a visionary for new things.  This video is simple in it's concept but amazing in it's execution and idea.  Love it!
