Rant: Lighten Up
by AmandaOK, before I post anything further in this blog (as I plan to cover the topics I couldn't blog about on the road) I have to make a statement.
This is a personal blog. We post our thoughts and feelings about the band, the gigs, the songs. We are passionate about the music (as I'm sure most of you are if you're bothering to read this) but we're not afraid to express our emotional connections, little things that make us happy, and other seemingly frivolous experiences. We're aiming to bring a mixture of technical and personal observations to out posts, but it's mostly an open format for us to write about our experiences.
If you are the kind of DM fan who can't handle fans who can be emotional and excitable at times, if you can't stomach gushy moments of glee, if you can't handle streams of consciousness.. then you need not read further. We like to have fun, and we aren't ashamed of who we are. What good would it be to read a blog written by robots, anyway?
If you only want formal reviews about the sound, the performance, technicalities and the setlist, then I suggest you log on to any number of fan forums or read some online mags/papers reviewing the shows (there are lots of good ones). However, there are bound to be moments of "squee" here for whatever reason. Some might think them stupid, immature, or rediculous. We don't care. We're here to share OUR experiences as we see and feel them, for those who enjoy reading such posts. If you can't shake the undying urge to belittle or demean those feelings in our comments, then please kindly move on.
Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed to the fullest, and we're attempting to do that in our own way. If you don't understand or agree, that's OK - you don't have to. Just close the browser window and move along. We're fully aware we're posting in a public domain subject to criticism, but it's not too much to ask for some maturity. (Or is it? I guess it IS the internet...)
