I used to write reviews and conduct interviews with bands when I was in high school. I had a fanzine and did a blog for a little bit but stopped and took it down. I stopped -- the music wasn't there. But in this past decade, there has been a musical renaissance for people brave enough to siphon out the best sounds of basically every decade leading up to it, from every influence and every country. So I write again.
Now is the time to see the bands who have resonance and leave you feeling like you might have experienced some feelings. All these bands come through Williamsburg. Brooklyn NYC. So when the little grandkids ask you about Brooklyn in 2010, make sure you've taken the L train to Bedford Avenue and are versed on these venues -- the places where you can see and hear the future of music in the 21st century.
