100 Reviews!

Woah! :|

I have a new home... The Punk Site

So guess what!  I'm now reviewing over at The Punk Site!  Don't worry though, I haven't sold out to corporate America - nothing will change - I'll still be brining you the most transparent reviews I can, only now more people than ever will be able to use my reviews to make informed decisions.  The Punk Site is a great place, run by Bobby Gorman, who is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met.  The site is also based out of Canada, so it's really easy to get review copies mailed right to my front door!  This is fantastic because I never know what I'll be reviewing until the package arrives!  So my reviews will likely be all over the spectrum, instead of just the albums I have personally bought (although I can assure you that I'll keep reviewing things I love so that you can all get in on some great underground tunes).  This does mean that my reviews won't necessarily always be on Tuesdays though, so you'll just have to check back regularly to see when something new pops up - but rest assured, I'll be aiming for one per week for as long as my schedule permits, and my free music blog will remain as active as ever.

cheers!

Well, it's 2009 now, so happy new year! But that also means that in a few weeks I'll be starting the "Professional Development Program" (PDP) which will eventually lead to me realizing my career goal of become a high school teacher. It's an intense five day a week program with an 8:30-4:30 daily schedule and (from what I've heard) mountains of homework. I'll also be working on the weekends to help make ends meet (gas money, car insurance, music budget, etc...), so I'll be busy seven days a week. Naturally, the first time consuming leisure activity to go will be writing these reviews. But I've been planing for this reality, and in the past few weeks I've already written ten reviews to help keep this blog alive. The only catch is that I'm going to make reviews a weekly affair, so starting next week I'll be using the auto-post function. Tuesdays at 10:00 AM will have my weekly album reivew. As of January 1st I have enough pre-written reviews to cary this blog into March, so this blog won't see any down time in this transition.

I'm not sure yet, but in leu of decreased activity I may start posting a monthly "What I'm Listening To" column detailing which new releases have caught my ear. It all depends on how my school/work load balances out, but if I find the time to write the column I hope it'll keep this blog current and relevant.

Oh, and my free music blog will continue seeing weekly Saturday updates :)

Sorry to break the news, but with my plans to start up school again in January I'm going to have to curb my review time.  That means I'm going to be easing into it this change, and starting in December, I'm only going to post two reviews a week (Tuesday and Thursday), and then in January I'll struggle for a single review per week (Tuesday).  But there is good news!  My other blog, Download Free Punk Albums will see increased activity, as I'll be aiming for a single post per week (Saturday to be exact) throughout December, and maybe two per week come January.

I love both of these blogs so I'll do everything in my power to keep them up and running.  Thanks for your continued readership.
