New Years – Asobi Seksu
100 Resolutions – The Lawrence Arms
It’s a feature of a well-lived life that every year seems to be a little bit better than the one before. I’m happy to say that 2010 certainly felt that way to me. It had its ups and downs, but on the whole it was a really wonderful year. Hopefully 2011 will be even better.
I wish I could see the same trajectory of continual improvement for the blog. In the last year the rate of posting has taken a pretty serious hit. If not for the World Cup there would have been under 100 posts – a steep decline from previous years. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get back to daily music posting, but I do hope to at least arrest the decline and get out a post every few days.
The blog has been going for almost five years now, and I don’t see it ending any time soon. So thanks to everyone who has stuck with me here – and I hope that you’ll continue to check in (and occasionally comment!). And welcome to the new year!
