Duck, You Sucker.
Several years ago, I gave my dear friend (and former AP editor dude) Aaron Burgess the following directive. "If you ever see me starting a blog, shoot me in the %$#@*=! face." I would like to dedicate the first entry in my first ever blog to AB, in the hopes that he's saving for his children's education and not thumbing through issues of Guns & Ammo looking for a device so he may "follow orders," so to speak.
Because I don't have any burning issue I want to get off my brain right this moment, I'll take requests. What would YOU like to see in this spot? Smack talk? Endorsements of new and obscure bands? Stuff that'll get me fired? Memories from AP's 23 years that haven't faded after too many nights swimming in a fountain of vodka and cranberry juice with a table dancer named Ginger Wasabi? (I can hear the haters right now: "Toldja he was a pinhead. I hope his buddy kills him soon....") Comment away, and I'll do my best to make you laugh, make you mad or make you choose Tim K's blog over mine.

Nice "Life Is Good" t-shirt, Asshole.
Oh great swami. Has punk, new wave, emo, screamo, et al simply outlived it's usefulness? Has rebellion ultimately been re-packaged and co-opted as background music for your latest haircut? After all, the Clash shill for cars and jeans while the Sex Pistols release Guitar Hero fodder.
You should stick to your strength - rants against the world, mankind and pop culture.
Don't you have enough writing to do in the magazine?
i vote for the ranting. its freaking hilarious when you go off about something on the ap show
Man, just do your shticks/impressions on YouTube. THAT'S your damned optimal medium.
i would like to see ranting, new bands, and memories( funny srotries??)

*LAUGHS*
I've been playing on LJ for ages. Serves you right, getting a blog.
Actually, I think I would have made your internal-Blixa as the blogger...
Post some fun insider stuff about bands. Fans LURVE that!
Grey :)
Thanks for passing the burden to me to manage your stupid little public cries for attention, shit-beard. The next time I see you, I'll be training a Barska A-15 scope on the middle of your forehead.
Just kidding, Skipper. Welcome to the 21st century -- and I hope you're prepared to update this thing daily. Those of us who live vicariously through your venom need a regular fix.
Love,

So I think a nostalgic blog is just want we all need to hear from Jason Pettigrew. How many amazing people have you met and interviewed - I mean, you've been where ALL of us want to go.
I want to read about your crazy adventures at sketchy dive bars before one of the best concerts of your life when you totally blacked out in a back alleyway only to be awoken by your all time most favorite band... I mean, that happens to the best of us, right?
Anyways, my vote goes to a blog that revisits those times you never wanted to remember :)
