What's with the wave of "Totally-Obvious-Music-Advice" posts on the front page today?

"It's Never Too Late to Learn Guitar"

(SYNOPSIS: practice, and take lessons)

"How to Write a Song"

(SYNOPSIS: practice, learn some basic music theory and try not to be boring)

I don't really disagree with any of this, but that's because it's not really saying much of anything. It's kind of diet and exercise articles. If they're honest (i.e. "avoid unhealthy foods, burn more calories than you take in"), then they're boring fluff. Whereas if they try to present exciting secrets (e.g. "do this gluten-free paleo detox cleanse and you'll never have to exercise again!"), then they're gimmicky junk. Maybe some topics just aren't that "blog-able".
