Help/ Suggestions

Post by IIIII »

I have to make a blog for my current English class, not really going to go into many details about the assignment. Ultimately I'm looking at making posts based around a single track off a record in my collection, discuss the song/artist and whatever else I can get out of it, then have it flipped into a beat and discuss that- the how, why and again whatever I can get out of it. I'm not really a writer but I need to have two 800 word posts by the end of the week. So I'm wondering, if you guys were reading something like this, what would you be interested in hearing about? I don't want to be mouthing off opinions, I just want to have a relaxed discussion of what is being played... If you have a sec just shoot some things at me, anything will help. thanks.

coo this would make for an excellent read.

now lets see if i were to read something like this i would be curious as to how you acquired the record. maybe talk about your trip to the record store, hours spent digging until bam! you found that one gem!

I dunno if you'll be able to do 800 words per post for a single track? Cool if u can but I would be draggin it out hard..

Maybe you could write about why you dig/collect/listen/flip beats.. the soul behind the drum machine that not many people think about.. Or like, write about yourself from the perception of your record collection (personified)

I dunno, I'd do somethin silly like that, but maybe thats missing the point of the english class
