As a child of the 90s I often find it hard to force myself into new situations. Mainly I think because our music was so much better than any other decades (imagine being a child of the 00s… poor things) but sometimes there comes a time to er, move with the times.
It’s been clear for a while that musicians’ personal blogs weren’t the most in demand thing in internet world but I like writing so I kept going. Some of you even read stuff and replied, which made me feel all sorts of great things, so thank you, it was appreciated.
But as life’s spare moments dwindle in number I’m forced to look at what I want to take up my creative time.
I haven’t blogged since my album launch, for those of you who joined that you’ll know there was more than enough text to go around!
I figure that even having a website is a throwback of sorts - I used to love individual artists sites what with the news and blog rolls and lyrics and guitar chords, so much memories! Oh, fun times…
To be honest I read very few myself that aren’t solely album review blogs so it makes less and less sense to continue with mine and in some ways it hurts to let go but it’s not giving up!
Retiring the blog mainly means more time for writing songs and whilever anyone is listening I’ll keep doing that (I include myself listening to myself in the “anyone”). There’s more gigs coming, one (maybe two?) new EPs in the works and a podcast so I won’t struggle for things to do but for now at least, me writing about me, is retired.
So for all the years, thanks for reading.
I’m working on one last piece for the local paper and I’ll throw it up on the website when it comes out - might take a while, this one’s more of a think piece…
Maybe see you at a gig soon?
