A Holistic Sense of Interest Would Garner More Followers

So I'm thinking maybe I could create a new blog that would be solely dedicated to people who are looking for great music to listen to. I'd obviously post reviews, make lists of songs that would fit a certain theme which could (fingers crossed) then eventually manifest itself in the form of physical mix tapes.
I’m flattering myself with the idea that the music I listen to is legitimate. I like indie music, and incidentally alternative and rock. I also love music created by artists of the past few decades- that I believe are today underappreciated by society, albeit those individuals that fit into the +40 age bracket and indie hipsters evidently. I’m sorry but I love Richard Hawley, Al Green, The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel….

I just love it. I don’t know a great deal about their histories, drug habits, love interests…but I know which songs fit into which albums and that I love the quality of the records made- which are coincidentally unparalleled in greatness.

Then thing I love about Indie is that the artists are not purely entertainers. I love the genius lyrics of Ben Gibbard, the funky sounds of Regina Spektor and the fun that constitutes as the criteria for ‘how to make a song’ by The Grates.
I like Ida Maria too. The Postal Service. I could go on really and so I guess this post is really my subconscious typing and enticing me to the idea that popped into my head. It’s not original but I could put my own spin to it and I am kind of tired of writing about myself. I’ll move on to some kind of personal journal at least that way I’ll have some physical record of my existence- that will not be erased if Google decides to die and transcend into the realm of failed search engine heaven. (Say hi to Ask Jeeves for me)

Anyways now I'm thinking this idea won't garner many followers but I guess that's not the point. People who are into this music are kind of reluctant with recommendations- I am a testament to this. People generally kind of like to hunt down bands themselves and thus by doing so owe no one credit for finding great bands. Also It could just be a thing for friends/ school people.
I don't know really.
Anyways I'm going to bed.
