Welcome to There There Kid

Welcome to There There Kid. Obviously, this is our first post, and we won't be up and running for a month or so as we sort out the format, etc.

However, this blog will be a mixed media blog that brings together many different forms of art, placing the works within their cultural contexts. After all, art doesn't occur within a vacuum, and we hope to reveal the undercurrents of culture that shape our art.

I hope to use my experience with literature, music, art, and criticism to create a blog that mixes all of these elements together. For example, can we find links between a current novel and a popular indie rock album? When a musician says they read X, does it come out in that musician's song lyrics?

In addition, I'd like to add reviews and features that probe deeper into topics than the average review site.

Keep checking back as we update the site and add more useful stuff to it.
