Uncharted Area Music News

      Music is probably the only thing I can count on in a world filled with uncertainties. Long ago, I decided I would never work a 'regular' job. I needed variety and something fresh. Not only do I spend several hours listening to anything from classic Beatles to underground local bands with only friends to support them, but I'm trying to create a local music community from scratch. I call it Uncharted.

      It's definitely a huge task for a 19-year-old, unemployed, college dropout to take on. Fortunately for me, I have lots of faith in the project and don't have any plans on slowing down. I've already made a tiny impression on some people in the area, specifically some bigger local bands. I've written over 10 articles already in the last couple of weeks.

      Let me try and explain, remember 'handful of friends' band I mentioned before? My general plan is to unite all these tiny unknown bands via a music blog. I write about these bands that are virtually invisible, they send their friends to the article link, they post comments and talk.

      If I could create a community using these bands and their fans as a foundation, not only could I bring together the local music scene, but I could expand the blog to cover the entire midwest!

      I decided on the name Uncharted because it was definitely very fitting. This is my main focus, of course there are several other projects I'm working on(music projects, other blog projects, etc.). I really don't know why I'm writing all this, maybe to finally have it typed out. Perhaps, I could use this as a mission statement to myself. Having it visible and public might motivate me when things are looking down.
