What? Yet another music/art/film/pop culture-laden blog to drip lightly into a vast sea of over-saturated blog culture? Yes, It's true. Call it self indulgence or mere boredom, or just plain lack of originality, I can't help but want to add my two cents every now and then for my own enjoyment.
With the start of every new year, I get that feeling not unlike when I hear the announcement of another Tim Burton film. Like Edward Scissorhands, that one great experience Mr. Burton has not quite replicated ever since. Every year I have high hopes that invariably get bland results with every Coraline or Alice in Wonderland that gets released. I don't want to sound negative (certainly not what you would expect from a blog about pop culture these days), but this year I'm just going to look forward to my own remake of Planet of the Apes, and perhaps be pleasantly surprised if something good comes out of it.
This wonderful (and perhaps my favorite Talking Heads) song has been regurgitated over and over again, and some of said regurgitations are not so bad, but for the most part (and not unlike this blog) are unoriginal. So I thought it would be kind of fitting to start this blog with a nice little naive melody. Here's to a new year and to mediocre unoriginality.
