First off, I want to thank all of the readers out there who have taken the time to read my posts and listen to my recommended music, I am extremely grateful for your interest in my blog.
Since I have started this about 2 months ago, I have primarily been posting daily songs, combined with short reviews and notes about each artist. For the next week or so, I will be working to improve and expand the format of this blog, which will include posts similar to past, as well as include the following:
-Song/Band Reviews: While this is currently what I do everyday, I will have designated days each week focusing on different levels of musicians--with one particular day looking at established bands, another on groups who have received some buzz around them, and another on smaller and unknown bands)
-Artist/Album Portraits: In-depth stories behind artists and/or specific albums.
-Weekly Radio Show: I will host a radio show that will highlight and discuss some of my weekly postings in greater detail, as well as play additional music for you.
-Playlists: My own playlists for your own enjoyment.
-Album Reviews, Concert Reviews, Music Industry News, and more!
