About Sutton

"This is a friendly music blog from 'that dude that always gets too excited about music and needs tell you about it.' From festival recaps to album hype, he coats it all with your average pop culture-junkie appeal. He's an enthusiast (not an insider) offering a resource for anything buzzworthy." I grew up in NH, did college in Boston, and am having anxiety attacks/sunshine/and professional life in California. Every moment in the journey can be pinpointed and timelined by the particular music I was into at the time. Everyone has a life soundtrack. I talk about mine endlessly. The Objective: At an important crossroads in my blogging here. Is it dangerous to ask for so much from music? Is it healthy to evoke personal ties with the creations of artists who don't know us and perhaps have no intention of us reading into their art in the fashion we do? I would argue that it's not dangerous or wrong, but this is where I must be clear; these are not my discoveries nor would I ever write in a way to claim ownership for them. For example, if a band is the catalyst for "the finest moment in my own collegiate musical exploration/explosion", than that does not make them my band or make me any more informed anyone else. My hope for this outlet is not to present myself as an overwhelming snapshot of indie crap that you look at and say "hmm, he's really into that", but rather the idea is to spread the word, the love, the information, the music!; the overall feeling you get when you declare "i like this band" in other words, i'd love to be a resource in your own explosion time-line. and if we are surfing the same wave of taste, then I welcome discussion and new leads into what you think we could dig together.
