Where the hell have I been?!

Soooooo...

Yeah, it's been at least a week.  And, I promised I'd post twice a week.  I know.  These last two weeks have been hell with "real world" problems.  I've been out of town for 10 of the last twelve days, only getting home about two hours ago.  Last weekend, when I got home, our sewer system decided to explode, and I had old rotting food and feces floating around all three bathrooms.  Ended up having to get an entirely new sewer system from our house to the city line.  The AT&T line got dug up when they were replacing the sewer, and we were without internet for 5 days.

So, that's that.

Which leads me, then to this.

I've lost the desire.  I'm sorry, but it's just gone.  Doing this has become too much of a burden, and I'm losing that precious family time during the week, so this poor ol' blog has to go on hiatus, if not end completely.

I will finish posting the albums I've already completed.  Then, I will make and finish the essentials that I have yet to make from all of the best bands.  Even so, we should still have posts through the end of the year.  But, that will be it.  No requests, no suggestions, nothing.  I will finish what I have and what I've planned, and then I'm out.

But, that doesn't mean that the blog will go away.  I will still be here to re-up dead links and comment when I have time.  But, the collecting, converting and cover-making will end.  So sad.

Enjoy it while it lasts, folks.  Don't have much longer.....

  3. It will be tough to say goodbye to this weekly therapy. But all good drugs must be taken off with a decreasing dosification. You'll be missed, but I'm happy if you are.

  5. I'll really hate to see you go -- I've loved your blog ever since I first found it. But your time with your family is the most important thing, much more so than any blog could ever be. I hope that you'll decide not to let it go completely, but if you do, then I don't blame you. Family comes first!

  6. you are doing the right thing put yourself and your family first. You will get a lot of messages of please don't go etc but 99.9% of those will be from people who make no effort to contribute to any blog or forum but believe they are entitled to all this free music and someone else to do all the work for them. they will move on and find other places to grab from. enjoy your 'retirement' in the knowledge you made a difference.

  7. Much as I appreciate all your hard work here, you're doing the right thing to quit while you're ahead and focus on what's important... I have enjoyed not only your downloads and introducing me to some new stuff, but also your commentary. Cheers!!

  9. Hi

    Just want to say the same as everyone else really, family has to come first and THANK YOU for all the great music (and great artwork too!).

    I hope you find the time to keep ticking it over but understand if you don't.

    Best wishes.

  14. You burned bright, Kid, your influence will live on.

    You did this right. If you do the same with your life and your family, you'll be OK.

    Never lose what you've got.

    God Bless (and I'm an atheist) -:)

  18. I have to say I was expecting to see this. Music blogs seem to be on the out but I understand your reasons and know you're making the best choise. I appreciate all your shares and I'm glad that you will be leaving the blog up as an archive of your projects. I still have a lot to catch up on. Best wishes.
