Why this blog? Why now?

Pete Hoesing, the Artclectic Academic

I’ve started this blog because the web is one of the most interesting spaces in which to explore art and music. Blogging allows us a kind of instant access to listening and viewing in a public forum where commentaries, cross-commentaries, and meta-commentaries produce the ultimate democratic intellectual environment. That’s what I’m about here . . . art, democracy, commentary, politics, and hopefully along the way, beauty and laughter. Enjoy.

  • Pete,
    I had no idea that you started this blog! It can be a really great and powerful way for people to positively influence other people.

    As for being your first “cat” on here, wow! Thanks man, it really means a lot to me. And reading it made me really grateful that I have a brother who gets me, the real me.

    Thanks man and good luck with the blog!

    Chris

    I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em, bro. Keep chuggin’. I know your scene is a tough one, but integrity goes a long way.
