I've been busy catching up on the concert reviews, and I'm really close to done now—I've just got one more from last month, the Hotels CD release show, and then two for this month and I'm done. It'll be funny to be caught up again, I actually wonder now what will I write about. I haven't written any Dungeon World-related stuff in a while—or even thought much about it, which is bad as I'm supposed to start running a game of it tomorrow—and I can get back to that, for one thing. And I'll have the usual stuff about my life, although I do want to avoid going back into a series of "ugh, not getting things done" posts (which means I have to do something about that).
But I think doing all these music posts at once emphasizes how much of my life revolves around music. Maybe I'll need to branch out and start talking about albums, not just live performances. When I'm not listening to KEXP, I tend to listen to my own music on random shuffle, which is great for variety but means that I tend to not become very familiar with the new albums I buy. So going back to review albums would get me to listen to some of them a few more times. Another thing I keep thinking of doing is going through the catalogues of some well-known musicians with whom I feel I ought to be more familiar—David Bowie for example, or something challenging for me like Public Enemy. That's more work since it means finding what I can dig up at the library and managing to get copies, or sometimes maybe finding all the individual songs on YouTube or something (not file-sharing though, I just refuse to bother with any of that stuff). I suppose it doesn't always have to be the full back catalogue, it could just be key albums; that at least would help me to tackle the challenge. Anyhow, something to think about.
