Trey Loves Live Music Blog and Why I Need a Haircut

By Justin Ward ⋅ February 15, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve actually been spending a lot of time working on Live Music Blog lately. Thanks to the help of some great guest writers, we’ve had tons of new stuff over the past couple months.

I can attribute most of that to the fact that I recently left a very lucrative Financial Analyst position at a corporate behemoth to pursue interests in life that fit in with that which I am passionate about. Not only am I blogger extraordinaire by day, I also have a Master Degree in Accounting and Management Information Systems. That’s not to say I’m not passionate about Microsoft Excel and all, but clearly I’d like to pursue interests that align me closer to the world of web publishing and music.

With my new-found freedom and more motivation than I know what to do with, I started to grow my hair out a little bit. Also, I’ve been fine-tuning a beard for the past couple months in the hopes that I can have award-winning scruff by the time I head to Europe.

See, the thing about me, is–I have red hair. And I wear glasses. And my sister-in-law called me…And some guy at STS9 on Friday night called me…–I sorta look like Trey Anastasio, everyone’s favorite band’s frontman.

So yeah, I’m cutting my hair tonight.

  1. I’m getting a business degree in MIS and accounting too (I’m still in school)! Though I’m not really working on livemusicblog.com I am an avid reader. Just thought it was funny (even though there are probably 20 people reading this exactly like me) and felt the need to comment.

  2. Don’t do it!!!!! I’ve been fighting the haircut gremlin voices out of my head for a few weeks now, too. But I found a new way to do my hair that worked with the length. And you’ve officially heard one of my gayest comments ever made in a pretty public forum.

  6. Listen to Pavement’s “Cut My Hair” while you do it. You could construct a whole mix of songs centered on that subject.

  7. Matt: hit me up on email and let’s chat. I need to warn you about some serious “entering the workforce” downfalls that you’re likely to face…

    Kane: yes, that was gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

    local: yes, Jam in the ‘Dam my friend…here’s my post about why I bought tickets…

    zaptor: good idea, actually…I should have had some more fun with it, but all my hair is already gone without any fun Pavement sing-a-longs while my better half helped me out…

  10. I just got a valentine’s day card from my mother. She’s wants me to cut my hair for a wedding next weekend. She even pulled the “do it for grandma” card. Damnit, looks like I’ll be joining you Justin.

  11. Dude, the second a parent pulls a “DO IT FOR GRANDMA” is the second I’m like “GRANDMA BETTA RECONIZE…”
