The changing face of GlitchNYC

December 19th, 2005

Well, after about 3 years of blogging here, I’m starting to take a look at what this site is about and why I do it.

Yes, it’s reached that time, I’m posting the inevitable blog about blogging…

Many of you have probably noticed the new influx of “daily link” posts. I’ve decided to experiment with splicing in my del.icio.us links. I generally annotate these pretty well, so I consider them mini-blog-entries, and I know that people have been writing me and talking to me about them, so they’re being found useful. I intend to continue doing my normal long-format articles here and there, but I enjoy seeing what other people find interesting, so I think I’ll keep the del.icio.us posts around for a while. Let me know if you hate them at webmail2004 A T glitchnyc.com

The podcast has been keeping me mighty busy, and it’s been a lot of fun to talk with so many great artists and get permission to play their stuff. I’m really really happy with the holiday special as well. It runs about 40 minutes and is all great podsafe holiday music, so it’s perfect for burning to CD and playing around the house over the holidays. Give it a listen, especially if you haven’t checked out podcasting yet. You’ll be amazed at how outstanding these indie + under-appreciated artists are.

We’ll be heading to CT and Upstate NY for the holidays, and I’m really looking forward to the vacation. I love this season, especially when music is an integral part of it. Thanks to the podcast, for the first time since I was last in a choir singing holiday tunes from September on through Christmas, I feel like this year has really milked the season for all it’s worth.
