An Introduction, More or Less

I remember -- at a very young age -- riding in my dad's car, singing along to music no eight-year-old should know: songs like "Riders On The Storm", by The Doors and "Gasoline Alley" by Rod Stewart were, oddly enough, some of my absolute favorite songs.

Music is a journey for all of us, whether we recognize it or not. We always associate certain songs with certain memories, rely on music for meditative, coping, and sometimes even spiritual purposes, and try to remember every word to our favorite songs. For me, this journey starts in my dad's Lexus, and continues with my aspiration of being a part of the music business.

I chose to start the Stereoh Project for a lot of reasons. Primarily, I was thinking maybe there's people out there, like me, who answer that question, "What kind of music do you like?" with "I listen to great music, and there's great music in every genre". I plan on featuring all kinds of songs and artists on here for those kinds of people. It's also a great way for me to record my thoughts on the music that I love.

What is The Stereoh?

Really, it's just a cool name for a collection of thoughts on what I believe is the greatest music out there.

I may as well set a set of principles I'll be following with my posts, so you know what to expect:

1. Obviously, music featured on The Stereoh will be comprehensive, and encompass every genre.
2. The genres featured should be fairly even, with no dominant genre.
3. The goal of this blog is to promote insufficiently-promoted great music. There will be very little Top 40 hits on here.
4. I'm going to aim to update this every other day. We'll see how that goes.
5. Not all posts will be features, but all posts will be related to promoting great music.

I think that's all. Good. I hate introductions.
