…you’ve reached A Future in Noise, my music-based foray into the vast blogosphere! An intro is in order:

“WHO ARE YOU?” That’s me in the b&w photo there, Marilyn Roxie, fem. age 18. I’m into making instrumental tunes on my jazzy (and rockin’, and electro-fied) Korg Triton LE Workstation keyboard, listening to all types of music throughout the day/night, re-reading The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde on occasion, taking pictures, playing video games, applying Rimmel U make-up, and going for morning walks…ah, I love the crisp breeze!

“I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?” You, presumably, are a music fan. But not the run-of-the-mill music fan that could be found just anywhere, no! You sir/madam have discerning taste, not to mention that you take an active interest in the state of music as we know it. What bands are around these days that are fantastic and worthy of note? What bands of the past are worth rediscovering? Is there hope for an eclectic variety of music to be appreciated on a mass scale, or is it better to keep the good stuff on the down-low (and the download, har-har) anyway? Through this blog, I’m going to be perpetually answering those questions and more as best as I can…and here’s where you could help me. See HOW CAN I HELP?, at the bottom.

WHAT WILL THIS BE? The main focus of the blog can be summed up in one sentence…when I figure it out, I’ll make it the tagline…Anyhow, I’m going to present you with these things:

• Information: Selected with relevance in mind, news + names + details in the world of music, past and present.
• My Take: Raising questions, debating, making playlists, band vs. band (what fun!), giving my opinion and asking yours. What’s on the rise…projections of music’s future to come.
• Linkage: Relevant and/or cool sites, tracks to listen to

This is not a download blog, though I will point readers in the direction of other music blogs that I am a fan of personally. The demand for download blogs of all shapes and sizes has already been met. This is info-driven and opinion-driven material.

WHEN WILL YOU POST? Semi-regularly, meaning that whenever I gather enough info, articulate myself, and type it out, it’ll show up here.

WHERE? Here at A Future in Noise…exclusively!

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I love telling people about music and hearing people’s personal suggestions. I haven’t been doing a lot of writing lately, aside from lyrics, so this will do as an outlet for that as well.

HOW CAN I HELP? Tell people about this blog, subscribe to the RSS feed, leave comments, and e-mail me suggestions for future topics. It might be nice to have a collaborator or two as well. Watch this blog, and if you’re interested drop me a line here: marilynroxie@gmail.com
