Before I started BandVox.com I was debating between actually starting a website, or starting a blog. In the end I chose to start a website because (among other things) I didn’t like the way blogs archive. I wanted old reviews to be easy to find, since people who don’t listen to the Top 40 probably don’t care if an album is the newest, just so long as it’s good. And, of course, if I only reviewed albums, posts would be long and far in between. If I wrote more than just reviews, the reviews could get buried under all of the other commentary.
So, after debating for a month or so between choosing a website or a blog, I chose a website. Three months later, I’m starting a blog.
Now, it’s not that I changed my mind. Far from it. There are things that I can do on BandVox.com that I can’t do on here, or that I can at least do easier on the site. But now I’ve found that when there’s a little something to add, or if there is something that I’d like to recommend or mention that is outside of our genre, I’d like a spot that’s a little more informal to talk about it in. Enter The Blog. (I now have “beware of the blog, it creeps, and leaps, and glides, and slides across the floor” running through my head. If you know why, please comment. I know why, but I suspect that many people do not.)
Here at The Blog I’ll be posting about individual songs that I like, out-of-genre songs/albums/videos that I would be happy to recommend, and anything else that seems fitting. And over at BandVox.com, I’ll keep the reviews coming.
