Short Topics

L.A. Times Music News RSS Feed is a popular choice to read for those whose pastime is gossip. This rapidly updated feed discusses everything from celebrity scandals to the difficulties on touring bands due to gas prices.

Because there were at least three articles updated a day, I found being bored impossible. While I have no interest in which celebrity is cheating on their spouse, I did take interest in the articles discussing upcoming artists. Not only were well-known celebrities mentioned in these posts, but highly praised movies, such as Mama Mia!, were also mentioned. I was glad to find that the articles were widely varied in topic and I rarely read the same story twice. Band stories varied from the punk rock band Jimmy Eat World to the pop sounds of Miley Cyrus.

Reading these articles helped me to expand in my thinking. Because there were so many different topics, I could hardly stay focused on one thing too long. Reading these posts kept me on my toes and further inspired me to broaden my range and choose a variety of topics to write about.
