New Directions.

Alright guys, sorry about my absence this week, Brisbane is a touch submerged. I keep coming to write, sitting down then wandering off. I am now sitting with a fresh cup of tea and a bottle of water, and I have zero excuse to stand up, or leave the computer.

So obviously, three posts a week was really ambitious. Oh well, life's about making mistakes. I'll be stepping back to weekly or bi-weekly posts depending on what's going on in my life. I'm also not just going to do straight reviews any more, don't worry, I'll review a lot of music still. However, in more of a "hey you guys should listen to..." manner, to give a bad review I need to listen to bad albums, and since this is blog totally for fun for me, why would I do that?
This kind of contradicts my new style of posting I'll have beyond this. One of my goals for the year is to clean out the mess of MP3s I have found from various media around my house. They mostly date from when I was angry, young and poor and felt the recording industry could shove it. Now I'm a little older and wiser, and understand that in most cases Album Sales = Income = Record Deals = More good albums. As much as we dislike it, record companies still pay the royalties cheques on most of these albums.
Anyway, back to my point. Most of these tracks I haven't listened to in years, nor have I ever heard the whole album! So my plan (whilst updating some id3 tags and cover art) is to go through my music library (currently sitting at 200Gb, Bloated by lossless rips of most of my real CDs and records) and get rid of the one of tracks I have floating around.
Rather than just going out and buying the albums, or just trashing them all, I think this could be an interesting little discovery mission. There's loads of people who have been intending to do similar things, so by documenting them in the "should it stay or should it go?" series, I may be able to help you guys out. I'm also going to find all the worst mistaggings I have.

I'm also going to occasionally write about me, because I'm self indulgent. Feel free to ignore these posts, I won't be actively sharing them, but they'll be open to read for those who are interested.

Take care those still in flood areas,
-A-
