Explanation
I abandoned my blog. I abandoned a lot of things. I can’t promise I won’t abandon them again. If you’re reading this (and by virtue of the fact you’re reading this, you obviously are reading this) then there is at least some point to posting blogs here, besides creating a repository for spammers to post pointless comments that I barely bother to read before deleting. But since you are reading this, why not comment? Even if it’s just to tell me that I, my blog, or my music are shit. It’d be nice to know there’s someone other than a hundred million spam bots out looking at my page, even if you don’t happen to like it.
Deary me I sound rather insecure, don’t I? I’m by nature quite insecure. But I think I’m getting better at feeling secure in real life, so I blame the fact that the internet is so impersonal, and that blogs (or at least, unpopular ones) are about as interactive as a shelf of dusty books. The authors don’t know if they’re being read, and the readers don’t know if the authors are even alive still. I should make an effort to read and comment on other blogs; use the law of reciprocity to my advantage. But that seems so cynical, and the honest truth is that I have neither the time nor the patience to read and reply to enough bloggers to put my name out and about. I’m a muso, not a pro-blogger.
Anyway, muso. Aha! Yes that was the point. I have a new soundcloud page over here, and while it might not be to everyone’s tastes, the music on there is (at present) rather poppy. So maybe it will be less divisive than my other muzak. I’ll be posting individual tracks here, along with little rambles about what inspired them or whatever else comes to mind, over the next week or so.
Hope you like the new tuneage. Let me know.
