Selling out

Alright, well I guess this thing is starting to pay off. Chris Arnott has asked me to take over the Music Notes column in the New Haven Advocate. Basically, I just have to keep doing what I've been doing here, but for print. And for money.
I have mixed feelings about it. It's nice to have a much larger soapbox to stand on, but it's weird to feel like I have to produce to order. Thankfully, he seems pretty interested in keeping the tone of what I do. He says the Register and Play have the fluffy promotional side of things covered, so he wants me to employ my critical faculties. Writing mean things about people who suck is definitely one of the things I enjoy.
I wrote my first column last week. I did it pretty straight. It's pretty much something I would have written for the blog. This first time out, I wanted to set a baseline for my style. In the future, though, I want to try some weirder stuff. I want to use the forum to actually talk about stuff, rather than just document my basic impressions of a night out. I'm still not sure where it's going to go. I'm just going to try to have some fun.
