In times like this, when such beautiful blogs are born (let us have our moment), it only seems fitting to commemorate the occasion with a few touching words.

Good morrow and welcome to our weblog. Here at Act Like Romans, Dress Like Turks, we do neither. Instead, we write about our passions which are mostly music related, but film, literature and even pop culture may sometimes slip into the mix. Post regularity is at the whim of the writers, and can be about anything at anytime. Here are some general categories you may find on our blog:
Musical Revue - The same thing as a "review" but spelled this way to reflect our nerdy affinity to musical theatre. Sometimes we will "revue" an entire album. Sometimes only a single track. Whatever time and resources allow. Whatever you do, do not take our word on the quality of the material. Go out and see about this music for yourself.
Tracks of All Ages - Just because it's classic doesn't mean it's old. Just because it's inspiring doesn't mean it's brand new. Just because it's floating in the void between "hall of fame" and "next big thing" doesn't mean it's irrelevant. Age is but a number, so every now and again we'll feature a handful of tracks that float our proverbial boat. Whether they be brand new, 30 years old, or they were popular for 3 weeks in the winter of 2006, we love them dearly. And that's what counts.
It's A-Live!!! - Every now and again, we step out of our hidey hole and find ourselves standing, in front of a stage, a stage with people on it, people with instruments, instruments that make sounds, sounds that make music. Do we like what we see? You'll have to read to find out. Enjoy our quirkily critical analysis of live shows accompanied by our high quality photos, usually taken with a cellular phone of some sort. High class.
The MP3's posted to this site are bait in the water. Please bite the hook and visit the band's websites, buy their CD's, T-shirts, posters and button sets, and by all means necessary, see them play live. The music we post is only meant to help. But if it is your music and you are under the impression that it hurts, email us at romansturks@gmail.com and we will take it down post-haste.
If you have some music that we need to hear, please send it to us. We will never turn down free music. However, we do prefer hard copy. Actual, physical CD's that we can touch, smell and taste. What's our postal address? Email us to find out - romansturks@gmail.com
