I fractured my elbow in June, and typing blog entries online with one hand isn't very easy.<br />2. I'm moving house at the moment.<br /><br />Those two things (plus overtime at work) mean I haven't given L&TB much thought of late, but I'll return to this when things settle down a bit. 23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-74132019735899919132013-08-21T04:09:54.809+01:002013-08-21T04:09:54.809+01:00Enjoy your "step off" Dave.

I loved your descriptions and background. <br /><br />I'm sure the creative spirit must be examined in order to remain vibrant and vital.

It's almost hard to...It certainly is a dilemma. It's almost hard to remember back in 2005 when I first created a music blog (actually, a music video one called Sonic Pollutions) music blogging was just getting underway. We were like kids in a candy shop with a built in playground. Tons and tons of music we'd never heard before as the floodgates burst open.<br /><br />My blog was hugely successful in it's time offering video downloads and intelligently written historical essays, but YouTube came into being at the end of 2005 and gradually took over so my blog ended up becoming obsolete since everyone preferred to watch streamed videos. That was fine, but as we all know YouTube itself has filled in huge gaps with so many obscure discs being posted. So between YouTube and blogs, huge ground was being covered so blogs such as this one - which I've been enjoying immensely for a few years - end up trying to find needles in haystacks.<br /><br />If you do decide to move on and do something different, that's fine. You've done a great job over the lifespan of this blog... maybe time to reinvent and head in a different direction for more longevity. That's entirely up to you and whatever you decide is fine by me since I understand and appreciate the dilemma that is now involved.Con Fusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-75060819480019722062013-04-17T21:45:09.051+01:002013-04-17T21:45:09.051+01:00Dave,

A podcast or radio show version has definitely been a vague plan for awhile, and would solve one of my problems - which is that it gets hard to find ways of writing about some of this stuff without resorting to cliches (even if they're your own cliches)! <br /><br />Anyway, I'll keep you (and everyone else) posted, and I may take you up on that offer of help. 23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-47256262365578438272013-04-14T15:07:30.668+01:002013-04-14T15:07:30.668+01:00Your work has been greatly appreciated whatever di...Your work has been greatly appreciated whatever direction you choose to take stuff.
