Yes, it's that time again, we've made it through another year, and it's time to celebrate the 18th anniversary of this forsaken blog! That's right, it's been 18 years since I started this little musical outpost, and throughout its ups and downs, highs and lows, I am still here sporadically putting out my musical musings and commentary, and trying to help make some great and usually lesser known music heard by more people. And although 18 is just coming of age for humans, it's more like senior citizen/old age for internet blogs, so I guess that is something to celebrate. Now, I know the postings have been pretty slim and slow in coming in recent months, and I do apologize for that, but circumstances have conspired to make things difficult to get content ready for posting recently. But I will be working on that, and I hope to do much better moving forward. Also, I know that there are lots of dead links (more than there are live ones) on the music posts, which is hard to keep up with normally, due to sites crashing, going defunct, and links expiring, but I've also had issues with my computer crashing and files being unavailable, compounding reuploading difficulties. But I will work to fix those issues as much as possible. I do have much more I want to present and discuss here, so I will strive to present quality new stuff, and I hope there will continue to be new things of interest here for you. As has been the case over the past couple years or so, my content has shifted away from live concerts to more album rankings and new album reviews, as I just am not collecting live recordings any more, but I will still may be be posting some downloadable music content from time to time.
Anyway, once again, as I have each year at this time, I also want to take this time to thank and celebrate all the others out there who have made so much of this great music, and those that have made it freely available for others. So, to all the other bloggers, tapers, forum posters, and music fans out there, and most importantly, to all the great artists and musicians that have created and performed this wonderful music, and certainly to all that have stumbled upon these pages, find something of interest and hopefully come back again, I offer a huge and heartfelt Thank You. And again, I implore everyone to purchase all the official releases of your favorite artists, as well as, wherever possible, go see them live in concert. The music and commentary here serves to supplement, not replace, all of their officially released music. They are supported by fans like us.
So, I will continue to carry on here, pretty much as I have, and I hope there are things here that are of interest that will keep you coming back for more, and to always be excited about all the great music all around us. As always, thanks for your interest and support. Take care, it's a brutal world out there, and we need our music to make it through.
