Record Reviews Returning Soon (Hopefully)

A few of you may have noticed that I haven't posted any record reviews on this blog since July 31 of this year.  Sorry about that . . . but I've just been so busy, not only with covering other issues and the like in this space, but also in my personal life.  Twenty-sixteen has been a tough year for me personally; I'm dealing with situations I thought would have (and should have) been long since resolved. 

I hope to get back to writing about my favorite (and not-so-favorite) long players soon, hopefully by some time in November.  In the meantime,  I'll continue to offer other musings in this space on something resembling a regular basis.  

Music Video Of the Week Is Back!

Ladies and gentlemen, my Music Video Of The Week feature, once on my now-deleted MySpace page, has returned. It's on a separate page of this blog. Look to the top right corner and you'll find the link to the page. There'll be a new video every Friday, just like on my original MySpace music Video Of the Week feature, which lasted from June 2007 to November 2010.

It's good to be doing this again.

My first video is of "Rock Around The Clock" By Bill Haley and the Comets, in honor of the 56th anniversary of that week in the middle of 1955 (which also ended on Saturday, July 2, like this week) when it became the first rock and roll single to top the Billboard charts.

Music Video Of the Week Return

Attentive followers of my blog may well remember that I featured a different music video on my MySpace page every Friday from June 2007 to November 2010, when I deleted my MySpace account. I deleted it because MySpace decided to make its profile pages look like Facebook profile pages, when the reason I'd kept my MySpace account was because of the fact that their profile pages had looked like Web sites. But why stay on MySpace when it was imitating Facebook? And in a cheap way, as well?

Well, I'm seriously thinking of reviving my Music Video of the Week project. I'm not going back on MySpace. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the fact that I can include additional pages on my blog, and so I'm thinking of having a Music Video of the Week page. :-)

I'm 90 percent sure I'll bring my Music Video Of the Week thing back. I miss it. Expect to hear more about this in a few days. :-)
