Goodbye (for now?)

Well kids, a lot has happened since my last post in November. Along the way I realized that writing in here had become an assignment instead of a natural result of my love for music. And now that my professional life has gone into overdrive, it’s time for me to officially cover the furniture and close the doors on this place for what looks to be the next four years.

Maybe I’ll come by at the end of those four years, blow the dust off, and start again. Or maybe I’ll never come back. But the old posts will remain up until hell, high water, or the server crashes in an epic disaster of some sort. As for the tune_review twitter account, that too will remain up, and may even be updated regularly. It’s easier to give a drive-by mention of a band and a link in 140 characters than it is to write out a semi-coherent review, and you might even get more music blips via Blip.fm.

I wish you all the best in your constant search for new music. And remember, the blogroll on the right is there for a reason, people – use it wisely.

P.S. – For those of you reading this via Livejournal and Tumblr, the same applies. Only the Twitter and Blip.fm accounts will remain active.
