I was going to start the new year with reviews of both the new You Me At Six and Motion City Soundtrack releases, but today something happened that I felt was more important to comment on. And in the end, these reviews, much like the Relient K one, will wait.
It's not so much music related, but when I started this blog I did say that I'd inevitably use it as an output for my various meditations.
Sadly, today (ok, yesterday if we're being overly pedantic) the world received the news that the novelist Jerome David, or J.D., Salinger passed away at the age of 91 (a BBC article about his death can be found here). He the was author of one of my favourite books of all time, from which the title of this whole blog owes its name. Of course I am talking about 'The Catcher in the Rye'.
