“Why I’ve Been Gone,” or “We’re All Busy”

Noise, noise, noise; echo, echo, echo.

There’s too much of it in the blogging world. Music’s a hot topic, my friends, and I’m just one fish in an incredibly large pond. Alone, I’m never going to have the power to scoop Hypebot’s daily summaries or Listening Post’s variety. Without devoting 100% of my time to keeping up with trends, I’m not going to be as prolific as Gerd Leonhard with his constant tidings of the future, today.

What can I offer? My own spin on current stories, and fresh ideas.

Your RSS feed is probably already populated with enough talk about The Rolling Stones leaving EMI, or some promotion that’s heralding in the new age of music/slowing things down. I tend to skip over every second post about the same topic… and it’s never anything personal to the author.

I’m writing for myself, and I’m writing for you. When I have something truly unique (and coherent) to post, it’ll be here, promise. And if you want to hear my thoughts on something, email me (like Andrew did), and I’ll post a response. Until then, add my feed to your RSS reader (if you don’t have one, I recommend Google Reader); it’ll let you know when I’m back with a vengeance.

I, for one, am stepping out of the echo chamber.
