When I write about Beefheart or Suicide, for example, I have decades of personal history with this music and it’s easy to write about. With the Ramones and Coltrane, however, sometimes it gets more difficult because my love for them is so deep. I don’t just love their music; I love them. It gets so personal it becomes uncomfortable. Naturally, if you’re going to take time to write about music, even if it’s just a hobby on a forum like this, you probably want there to be some purpose. Recently, for me that purpose is to help the reader navigate through new music. She pinpoints something there that’s an obstacle to think about.

Here’s a book I’d like to recommend to you:

Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures

By Mark Fisher

A lot of it is about his relationship with music. The title is a nod to the band Japan, you might have noticed.

Thanks so much for following my little rantings and for the insightful response. I'll definitely look into that book! I'm putting the finishing touches on a special feature due to be published in early May so stay tuned!
