This post is just a quick update sort of thing for what’s going on and what’s to come in the summer and so on.

I will say this – life has been a bit nuts. It was last year and it’s had its moments so far this year. Nothing is bad or horrible or anything like that – but there are things going on that require attention and time and it detracts from time spent on this site and other stuff. I do think things might calm down by this fall but it’s gonna still be a bit of a bouncy house between now and then.

I haven’t been posting as frequently as I want to, but since this is just my own hobby blog I don’t guess it’s any huge deal. I would rather have a consistent schedule but it’s too tough to commit to right now. I don’t have to pause or quit or anything, but I do need to reel back my ambitions and just post the things I know I can get out with not a ton of time to do it in.

I am going to press forward with doing an album, a song and another kind of post each week. Something else may trickle in a bit later that is actually kind of easy to work on but even that will require a bit more time for me to set up, that might not hit till July or so. But I think I can pull off three posts a week if I limit my scope a bit and just stick to that.

I will be shelving any kind of long review series I’ve had planned and have been working on to some degree. I was going to do a deep dive through the Nevermore albums but I honestly just don’t have time for it. It’s something I can pick up later once time becomes more available. I had massive plans to actually sit and review every Neil Young album – it is something I want to do one day but that shit isn’t happening anytime soon. And I was going to rank every Iron Maiden song – I have bits and pieces of this going but it’s too big of a project right now and I’m going to set it to the side for the year.

Instead I will focus on my usual posts and my continued celebration of 1984. I can keep with that pretty well and offer up stuff on a consistent basis. My reach is often further than my grasp, just as a demon, and my plans are often more lofty than my realistic ability to execute them. Peeling back a bit should keep things on the level and let me get through the next few months.

I do want to thank everyone who drops by and spends a minute reading. I know many of you who comment and engage have your own sites and have had your own challenges with engagement and such the past year or two. I appreciate you all who comment here or discuss stuff from here with me in person, probably wouldn’t be much point in doing this without some level of feedback. I hope to keep seeing you around and I’ll also make more effort to keep up with your own works as well.

I’ll wrap it up here – though tonight I do have a special evening in store. I’ll see Uriah Heep and Saxon in concert. I was shocked earlier this year when the show was announced for my town, the venue is literally two miles away from my house. I’m not massively familiar with Uriah Heep but I’ve been jamming them a lot lately in prep for the show and they are fantastic, I’m looking forward to seeing them. Saxon I am a big fan of and this is a bucket list band that I finally get to see, it’s still crazy to me that they’re playing right down the road. I’ll take that in tonight and give you all a full report next week. Until then, enjoy the weekend (holiday for the US), and see you down the line.
