JennYNew Year, New Features & Song of the Week
January 15th 2010 21:55
Hello all, as 2010 is kicking into high gear, I thought I'd give you guys an update on our projects for this year. As you can see, there's been a couple of esthetic changes to the site these past few months and I finally uploaded a new header today.
On the blogging front, reviews have been few and far between this past year, but know that we are trying our best. Studies and other real life activities have often gotten in the way of our posting schedule. If you've been reading us for awhile, you probably noticed that we pretty much dropped the “Blast From The Past” reviews.
The reason for that is that it was getting very time-consuming to write two-three reviews at the start of every month on top of the weekly reviews. But, fear not, we are not going to stick to “new” reviews only. I decided to replace “Blast From The Past” with a new feature which will be a monthly playlist of songs heard throughout the month in question. Basically, at the end of every month, I will post a list of 30 songs (or 31 depending on the month) – one for each day of the month – that I feel people should listen to. I will also post playlists for some holidays. For example, there will be fourteen songs for Valentine's Day, four songs for the 4th of July, etc. The idea of a monthly playlist was inspired by my friends over at the Boombox Theory who post songs weekly in an effort to introduce people to groups/bands that they had never heard before. Hopefully, it won't take as much work as "Blast From The Past" reviews.
On that note, I will leave you with my pick for Song of the Week. As you probably know, a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti this past Tuesday. Although I currently live in Canada, I was born in Haiti and my father still lives and works there. Thankfully he's safe and sound; and so are all my relatives over there. It is with them in mind that I picked Wyclef Jean's “Yele” from his debut solo album The Carnival released in 1997.
