Welcome to Dynamicism!



Word.

So lately I've gotten a bit tired of conventional music blogs and conventional music blog review formats, so I decided to start my own music blog (with blackjack and hookers).

Here's the deal: With most MB's (Pitchfork, 2DB, Potholes In My Blog, Pigeons and Planes) you get reviews written by one writer, with a normalized score out of 5 or 10 at the bottom (or the top if you're Pitchfork). The goal of Dynamicism is to do away with a few of these conventions. With each album that we review, we will curate one article in which each of our reviewers will be given a paragraph or two to themselves to convey their thoughts and feelings about the chosen album and give it a rating. At the bottom of the page, we will list a summary of each reviewer's thoughts and average the ratings in to one big X/10.

I'm assembling a team of writers to get the job done, sort of like The Avengers of music reviews. These are guys and gals that I trust to give their honest opinions as writers and music listeners. As our team grows, we may partition the blog into different sections, with different groups of our team covering albums and news that other parts of our team don't really show interest in. However, this may not actually be necessary since each of the people I have selected have a wide and well developed range of musical tastes. Of course, if no one else is interested in certain pieces, each writer has free reign creatively, and can choose to go dolo to cover what they deem important. This is a Democratic blog.

It's also really fucking exciting.
