So I've decided that I'd like to embark on a massive Mode project. It's been a long time brewing in my brain.
Those of you that have been following this blog for a few months know that it's been a bit dead until recently. I had (and continue to have) high hopes for the kind of content I want to make/post on here. And that is, strictly: review, interview/viewing-based style commentary blurbs.
When I turned from casual fan to accidental Devotee in March of this year, I had no idea how sonically and aesthetically this band would define and influence my tastes in the months that followed. So, I'd like to continue to document that journey.
What I propose is this. A project in which I go through DM's entire back catalogue and review the thing from start to finish, from behind twenty-first century eyes. (Yes, because I am insane, just finished my masters dissertation, and am only partially employed... why do you ask?) I hope to make even more new discoveries along the way, pulling from accurate sources and citing where appropriate. It's something that will also keep my writing skills fresh.
If at any point, my readers would like to contribute to the discussion, please feel free. Stjaerna is an open forum for musical love... to be interspersed with the random awesome bout of photos, of course.
It may be a daily project. And sometimes, it may be a weekly project. In any case, a great thanks in advance for those who wish to hop along on the ride.
Let's do this.
