The Future Of This Blog
It has been a while since my last post, partly due to the usual stuff (work, laziness, alien abductions), but also because I started writing for WFMU’s esteemed Beware Of The Blog. This is definitely my favorite source for music, video, and the stranger parts of popular culture, and I am thrilled to be a contributor. You can jump directly to the list of my posts if you like, but all the posts there are worth reading.
While this is great, it also creates a problem for me, namely the purpose of this very Both Kinds Of Music blog. The WFMU blog has many more readers, and WFMU has virtually unlimited bandwidth and storage space, so why should I continue posting here? Should I scrap this blog altogether, recycle it to something else (e.g. post playlists and show archives from my radio shows), or is there another possibility? I honestly don’t know at the moment, and I would appreciate any suggestions. Please comment on this post if you want to help me overcome my indecision.
By the way, there is definitely one more “real” post coming up, with lots of MP3s. It will all be classical (i.e., really fucking old) music, but that is all I can tell you know. You know, creating suspense and such…

Don’t scrap this blog! I just laughed so hard about this great photo you posted.
Fuck the Readers, just keep doin’ it. If we all start blogging only “if people read it”, then soon only some big commercial places will have blogs, with tons of adds and boring entries … us at www.magnolia.ch have had the same insecirities for years, wondering if our plattform is any good, because of mising feedback. but we kept it going anyways for allmost 10 years now. and there are people looking at it (we see it in our stats).
if you have a problem with space/bandwidth: go look for another host - that’ll solve it easily.
all the best to you and … keep rockin’ !
