Two years ago today I launched this domain as a music blog where I'd post a song every weekday for a year straight. I didn't make it to a song a day for a year, but it is somewhat surprising to me that I'm still doing anything at all with it today.

Sure, there's been a bit of a dry spell these last two or three months, but this tends to happen every winter. The music business dies off a bit in the cold months: people aren't touring (and those who are pretty much suck) and new albums aren't really coming out lest they miss year end lists (and the albums that do come out pretty much suck), so I'm just full of good excuses as to why I don't tend to update.

Like I said in my last post, I'm not particularly happy with the direction I've taken the site in the last year. I have been over-enthusiastic over bands that deserved, at most, to be damned with faint praise (something I'll delicately cover in my Best of 2010 post), and dismissive of bands that didn't immediately satiate my most pompous of desires. I'm not even really satisfied with the "re-design" that you see before you now---good ideas I wasn't willing to let go of when I saw they weren't functionally feasible. (And then there's the whole "sometimes the site freezes Chrome solid and crashes" problem.)

I have, in some ways, let myself down.

So here's to the third year being a better year. Thanks for reading, subscribing, whatever and ever amen.
