Hi guys,
I run a music blog:
oldnoise.wordpress.com
>"Why should I care?"
I try to respond to reader input/requests, and I've been published professionally, so I consider myself a cut above the thousands of hobbyists. I try to keep the memes to a minimum and just make it about the music. I like to cover good stuff that unjustly didn't have a lot written about it for whatever reason.
>What's new
Last time I made a thread, a few people suggested I buy some ads. I chose to write about OK Computer for its 20th anniversary release and spent a bit of cash to promote it, so we'll see how that goes. I've also been writing about the new Nick Lowe reissues, in case there's some Nick fans here.
For reader requests, I finally finished my review of Sun Kil Moon's Common as Light, and did Prefab Sprout's Jordan: The Comeback a while back.
Still on the requests agenda:
Divine Styler—Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light
Boris (in general—taking a while to absorb but haven't forgotten)
Lift to Experience—The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads
Velvet Underground
Unwound—Fake Train
Mars Volta—Frances the Mute

U2 - The Joshua Tree

Okay, that's a good point.

A bit daunting, but I'll try to put a new perspective on it. A good excuse to talk about the reissue too.

Yeah, those came along at a weird point in my life. https://www.last.fm/user/TheUniversal This isn't a super accurate snapshot for recently though, since I haven't kept up with my scrobbling plugins.

If Talk Talk is some of your top stuff it'd be cool to see what you think of Bark Psychosis

Hey, Thanks for pointing me your way! I just read your Sun Kil Moon review. How do we make requests? Can we just ask in this thread or is their a particular way?

Here's the direct link to my Prefab Sprout one, because I don't think I made a hub page for them yet and it's sort of buried now.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.

Right now, virtually anywhere. Can be in this thread, in the comments of the posts, or on the Facebook/Twitter pages (which I believe are on the sidebar, if I didn't goof it). I'll have to put something on a widget for it though, like a note about requesting and a Contact page, because I didn't make reader interaction terribly intuitive.

Also, sort of a non sequitur, but I'm also experimenting with video game reviews. It'd mainly be /vr/-era games, same deal, same style of reviews, with a light focus on dead/forgotten franchises. If there's any crossover appeal here, let me know.

It could be cool to have a few reviews from the golden age of 2D RPGs (World of Xeen, Wizardry VII, Betrayal at Krondor, Darklands, Geneforge, etc.)
