WHAT'S NEW?

December 27, 2011

With this update, I announce my retirement from record reviewing. I'm completely burned out on the whole thing, and have been for some time. And as you'll see in this final selection of reviews, I've finally reached the point where I honestly can't stomach it anymore. I sit down at the computer and just seethe at how much I hate doing it. It's also the last remaining vestige of my former life. I have an entirely new life now (no Henry The Dog, no wife, no drinking, no NYC apt, new girlfriend, new job, new Astoria residence, new future) and feel like my web site belongs in the past as well. It no longer provides me with pleasure or fulfillment.

Still, I acknowledge the possibility that my old creative drive will return at some point. It did for George Starostin, after all. I'm not counting anything out or saying "never again." Even Ozzy was unable to retire, remember? He got too bored!

I will continue to post all reader comments I receive, so feel free to keep sending them in. But don't send in comments about records I haven't reviewed (ex. the new GBV) because I won't post those.

And hey! Have a good life!

And thank you again for clicking on the Amazon "Buy CDs here" links at the bottom of my pages. When you do that and buy ANYTHING AT ALL (it doesn't have to be a new item, nor even a CD!), I get a percentage of your payment! In this way, the economy will be boosted and we'll have 101% employment (one guy will be employed twice).
