Holy Flurking Schnit!

So I seem to have been on something of an impromptu hiatus. Not planned, or even particularly expected, but necessary. Life has been hectic, tiring and mind-futzing all at once. Ever had that form of writer's block that lets you have a flurry of mental activity, but sitting in front of a blank page results in an equally blank mind? Yeah, that.

But has life been dull and without good things? No, not really. Quieter, perhaps, with fewer gigs and a slower intake of new music, but still with plenty to enjoy. Just not with the brainpower to put that into words.

One good thing that has happened is the transformation of Bandcamp from a basic hosting site for musicians to a more social environment. This includes things like personal collections, the ability to "follow" and a recommendations system. Of course, that also means that the amount of cool new music I am finding has increased massively and my current wishlist runs to many, many pounds of downloadable goodness. My personal bandcamp collection is available for viewing and following if you so desire. Feel free to marvel at my majestic profile photo.

I have some commentary, review or other words about a number of things that have come out, will come out, or have recently been revealed to me. I will post those in short order. Ish. I might even post a few more photos, if I get to any gigs this year. I've come up with a few loosely defined sections to post in, including a bit about freebies I find, a bit about newsworthy things and a bit about stuff I have found and want but have yet to acquire. Make a bit of structure around here.

And so, here I am, back again for a while until my brain gives up again. Or not, if it doesn't. Who knows?
