So, it has been a crazy summer for me, turning into a fantastic fall. I can honestly say that life has been going well enough that I have much better things to do than to write about music. Don't get me wrong I still love music. After a concert free August, it's been a pretty solid month, catching Justin Townes Earle, William Elliott Whitmore, the Low Anthem, and this Friday catching Brown Bird opening for Dark, Dark, Dark.
After months of heavy writing earlier this year, I am finally getting asked on a regular basis, "Dude, what's up with the blog?" I guess everyone is caught up now?!? I had too much for folks to keep up with before, but the amount I felt was necessary to make the blog successful. Well.. 100 posts later.. I've earned about $5. Picked up a few awesome free albums, and would have been put on a list for a show, if the event was big enough to even have a list.
The best feedback I was given, was "Don't give up. You know you love it, just find what works". So, I kinda dig the magazine format I had been working on recently, rather than individual posts. It's not the best format for being a net success, but I just don't have that kinda time right now. At least not without making more than $5. I'm so happy to be shoulder deep in new music right now. It's getting a little expensive, so I best make it worth while and share my finds!
So.. for a the near future, I plan on writing throughout the week, but posting just once. I'll squeeze as much in as I can, but once a week is what to expect. Please sign up for the email list, and/or like the McGurkMusic Facebook page for more up to date info!
Thanks again to all my supporters, backers and inspirations.
