So, I haven’t posted for a long time, 19 days in fact, and there is a very simple reason for that, a lack of motivation. When i first set this blog up I foresaw me making daily contributions about all kind of interesting and crazy subjects, but frankly that just hasn’t transpired.
Without having a designated field about which to write, a designated field that was also a passion of mine, then anything I put up here would hold no merit, no interest, and no relevance, so its become apparent that I need to center the blog in on a subject close to my heart, music.
The basic plan at this early stage is to focus it on reviews of local bands or artists in the Somerset area, post details/reviews of their shows, do my own band bio’s, provide contact information etc, and just try and give the little guy a little lift. I will back this up with some reviews of other great bands, from any place or time, most likely restricted to bands that I personally love, and hopefully you do/will too.
For an idea of what to expect, see my post regarding Ryan Inglis, a local musician who’s working towards a record deal, and keep your ears posted if you already haven’t for bands similar to Far, New End Original, The Kinks, Dry Kill Logic, The Dismemberment Plan, Reuben, Rainer Maria, At The Drive-In, De Facto, Arms Bend Back, Sebadoh, and many many others, which I may list at a later date so you know better what to expect from the site, and to decide if it’s something you care to join in with.
It’s worth mentioning at this point that the site will still see posts relevant to my work and other passion, technology. A popular post from my archive, the Google Chrome Review is probably a good snap-shot of the flavour of the technology orientated material you will see here. Coming soon will be a full browser review, pitting the new boys against each other in some of the key criteria, following the release of Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and Google Chrome in quick succession.
I think that’s pretty much it, I’m off to enjoy some more music (and technology!).
