Is it?

Well, you can't answer yet cause you don't even know what its about yet, but hey, don't let that stop you from having an opinion, right? Just randomly pick yes or no and go with it man, its as good as anything except my opinion so I'm going to give you the scoop.

IT'S NOT.

It's not worth a new thread but it sure as hell will get more attention than attaching in parasite fashion to an existing thread and that's what its all about right? It's all about attention - LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! It's the modern disease, not one of us is unaffected but at least I get angry with myself about it, rather than being blissfully unaware or just being a fucking sad sack. A healthy amount of fury at yourself can keep you VITAL. And at the end of the day at least I'm not PASSIVE. I'm digging my section of the tank trench. I've got my fucking SHOVEL and I'm DIG, DIG, DIGGING. I'm MUCKING IN.

Anyway it occurred to me after my failed Konstantiranks 2000-2009 Top 100 countdown than trying to write 20 reviews a week over 5 weeks was something of a folly and that I'd be better writing one or two 'reviews' a week over 520 weeks so that's what I'm going to do for 2010-2019.

So yeah this is essentially publicity for another shitty music blog. So gather round and hear my snake oil man sales pitch. If you want to read terrible writing on bands you won't like by someone you don't care about then you can find it here:

http://unnaturalconducts.blogspot.com/2 ... -2010.html

It will consist of roughly four or five reviews per month with uploaded sample tracks rather than full albums. You may want to pop over once every couple of weeks, you may not, you may find something you like there, you may not etc, etc.

Just don't say I didn't INFORM you, don't dare say I am ANTI CHOICE.

And don't worry, I wasn't and won't be totally fucking speeding when I write on the blog. It's just I have a pain in my leg and I won't go to the doctor. So as the Vikings used to say as they raped and pillaged - "HUZZAH!"

I didn't even click into this this morning because, just by glancing at the thread title/author I thought it was another spammer.

Anyway, I'll be checking it out.

It is that basic existential, not just modern, struggle - to accept Anonymity; the technology has changed, the crisis has not.
