Music Sounds Better with You

You may have noticed that the frequency of posts to this blog have been diminishing over the past six months. Most of this has been due to other obsessions taking up the time and space usually occupied by writing about music, i.e. work.
The other reason is Twitter. Since joining in July 2008, I've found it easier to provide concise summaries and opinions of music I love (or not), whilst managing to get on with other things. But with Twitter comes another crucial aspect of music - discussion. Something I never realised I missed until a few months ago. The ad-hoc social networking aspect of Twitter makes it ideal for like-minded people to find and follow each other and is well suited to bringing music fans together (in near real-time).

Also, rest assured that my Tracks of the Day of 2008, and my Top 10 albums of 2008 will make appearances here as per usual. The former before 2009 dawns and the latter at my usual leisurely pace.

[...] Unexpectedly throughout these five years, my love of music has grown deeper than I could have imagined, and the main emphasis of this site grew in that direction. Then, late last year, I discovered Twitter, and felt the joy in sharing musical opinions and discoveries with other people. Hence my declaration a few months ago that Twitter would be the main place where I would hang out and talk music. [...]
