Musicwhore.org Music and memory

2019 was not kind to this blog.

A series of events at the start of the year derailed my publishing schedule, and I had pretty much written off 2019 by the summer.

I usually write a few entries in one sitting, then dole them out over the course of a month. At my peak productivity, I stockpiled enough to last two months.

I lost that momentum and couldn’t get it back. Sometimes, I would come up with a story idea, only to realize I’d already written it. Other times, I felt restricted by the tag line of this blog: Music and memory. What if the memories keep rehashing the same story?

When I changed the focus of this site 5 years ago, I thought my days of discovering new music was behind me. What I didn’t anticipate was the amount of music from the past still unfamiliar to me.

So in 2020, I plan to tweak the focus of the site. I don’t know yet what that entails, but I know I want it to reflect my listening habits today.

If the Purchase Log entries of the past year have shown, I’ve done a lot of exploring, and I have a lot more to do.
