Originally I had been writing a music blog to which I added an entry every time I bought a new album, recording my first impressions of each addition to the small but expanding stack of CDs in the corner of by bedroom. This didn't really go anywhere, because I don't have the discipline to write an entry every time I pop out to HMV and I don't write concisely enough to make it easy on myself even if I did. In this new incarnation I'm continuing to write about the music I'm listening to, but with no particular chronology, so that my hobby doesn't have to keep up with my vice, and with no particular desire to write as a reviewer, so that it's fun for me and not a browbeating session for anyone who might come across the blog.
