closed for business

What can I say? It's been a blast.

All mediocre things come to an end and this is it. What started as an experiment meant to last one year managed to string itself out for a little bit longer than that. On the way I've made virtual friends with plenty of bloggers. The one disconcerting aspect about this is that I've never met most of them. That said, I'd like to thank each and every blogger and other web people who've taken the time to visit or to link here from their own sites.

This blog was started to fill a musical void in my life. That void has now been filled once more and as such I'm going back to doing what I love best, playing tunes on internet radio to a handful of interested people.

I can't say that I always enjoyed keeping a blog. I've always believed that if you're not deriving any pleasure or benefit from work then it becomes a pointless task. It's been hard work at times, thinking about stuff to write about and then having to bloody well write it. Not that you'd think that I spent much time thinking about it by reading most of it. Whatever interest I had left for blogging has fallen by the wayside. There's a host of more interesting blogs in any case. By the same token there's a load more shit ones. In fact there's many, many more shit ones. Unfortunately most of those bloggers won't realise and they'll continue to fill the internet with their nonsense. In positive terms, special mention must go to those who have populated the blogroll on the right hand side of the page and those others who were there until they too stopped blogging. Even more special mention goes to the many blogs that I meant to put there but never found the time to do so.

The music goes on and I realise that you can't keep up with everything, even when you try. It's even harder when you're only half-arsed about it. Hopefully this departure from the world of blogging will mean that I've some energy to channel in other directions. Damn it, I might even play with my children or talk to my wife.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye. Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you.
