Scouring the archives
Part of the reason to start blogging is to create a way to mention new stuff that I have written beyond my day job, but because of a lack of that lately, here are a few things rescued from the dustbin of history. Anyone remember Ironminds.com? A good little site that was among the many that rose and fell in about a years time as the bubble inflated and then burst. I had a few things published there, my first forays into online freelance work.
The things I wrote included an analysis of the use of music on "The Sopranos," a first-person account of my short stint as a bar DJ, and my proudest moment, a piece about the soundtrack for Wim Wenders' "Until the End of the World," a disc for which Wenders asked the artists to predict musically what the year 1999 would be like (and for which, with the benefit of hindsight, I critique the results).
A few other pieces exist out there, but these are the cream of the crop. Check 'em out now, because who knows how long the kind folks behind the site will keep this stuff alive.
