Welcome! An introduction to this blog

This is a blog which I now feel I should have started a loooooong time ago but sadly only came to me under 24 hours ago.

I began to notice that I've recently been listening to a lot of 'summery' electronic music like Moby, Chicane and the Ministry of Sound 'Anthems' compilations. Then, just last night, I randomly pulled out a Gorillaz album which features the classic track 'Clint Eastwood' which, if played at a party, the whole crowd will sing along and dance to. I also began looking for 'Hendrix live at Woodstock' and a free newspaper CD called 'Legends of Rock'. Both searches were unsuccessful.

A bit of an eclectic mix was going on. So much so that I thought if I record everything, it might show how I was feeling through the weeks/year. Am I in the mood for some angry metal, or feeling slightly mellow? Is it summer or winter (the posting dates should really tell you that)? It would also show how my tastes suddenly change.

I imagine that a lot of people will find this blog a bit crap as it is essentially just a diary detailing my thoughts on how my ears are feeing that week but it's something which I've (surprisingly) not come across before so maybe it's worth doing. I'm not going to hope that it becomes viral just yet (if it does, though, I'll be rather happy).

The blog will be updated every Friday (as long as I have internet access) and will list the bands/compilations I've been listening to, an analysis of myself, life & music and a tracklist.

So, that's an intro to my newest blog, yet more words to maintain. However, I'm almost always listening to music so it should be rather easy to maintain.

Check back on Friday for my first weekly analysis.

Pete :)
