What is this?

First off, this is a "team blog," which means that only those of us who are "members" of the blog can post to it or post comments to it. Others can read the blog, but they can't post or comment.

I first thought of doing this because I always discover the best music, bands, and musicians from talking to my friends, or browsing through their music collections. But, I don't get to have those conversations often enough. This blog is a way of intentionally making that conversation happen.

We should all participate in defining what this blog is, but I'm thinking that for me this will be a space to share with fellow music fanatics when I have one of those moments. You know what I'm talking about, one of those moments when you hear a new song—or an old song that you haven't listened to in forever—and you are just grooving on how great the song is and how beautiful music can be sometimes. Well, if you don't have someone nearby to share it with (or even if you do), share it here with us, your other music appreciating friends....

The first "rule" that I can think of is that we keep this blog focused on music. If we want to comment on anything else we should send an email or use some other communication outside of this blog.

The second is that I think we should try to use the comments to reply to someone's post, instead of creating a new post to reply.

I look forward to hearing about good music (as soon as we add more members to this blog...).
