There was no grand design when I started the Soundtrack and, surprise surprise, the blog carried out its entire existence without a higher purpose. Integrity!
At this very moment (Tuesday, January 22nd at 8:51pm) Friday Soundtrack has had 1,864 page views. That's a lot of eyeballs! To my regular visitors - thank you so much. You made this blog worth writing. To everyone else - it's not to late to check out what went down! I recommend starting with this post because it features John Petrucci and a picture of an Illithid holding a guitar.
FS had just one follower (thanks, Tess!) and two comments thanks to Andrew and... myself, but it received a lot of Facebook love. I had a lot of fun writing each and every post. I'll genuinely miss doing this, but it's time to re-focus. To re-seed.
Me. Right now.
My goal for 2013.
New looks for 2014.
But please don't be sad! We had some good times, didn't we?
There were poems with hidden secret messages... ("Tally or Pond" = Dolly Parton; "This Pewter Heist is over" = The White Stripes is over (and yes... I'm aware of the the bad grammar, but I couldn't make it work any other way)).
There was progressive folk/bluegrass. There was Hatsune Miku. There was funk. There were rants. There were memories. And there were video games. So many video games! And even though there was extreme nerd metal from time to time, there were enough heartfelt moments to string you along. Heck, maybe you discovered a cool band you had never heard of? And maybe you started to like the random gibberish I wrote to introduce each week's entry, or the pictures I stole from Google images.
I'd really love for you to share your thoughts. Did you have a favourite post? Are you happy it's finally over? Is there a song or genre you wish I had featured? Let's see if we can't get the total comment tally into the upper single digits.
And now- to borrow from Monty Python - let's get on with it.
Friday Soundtrack started with Motown and is finishing with it. Here's your final inductee to the hallowed halls of this blog: Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing in the Streets. But before you play it, please do me one last favour... crank up the volume. Unbutton something. And dance.
After all, it's Friday. And all we need is music.
Thank you for your ears.
