Some time over the next little while (hard to be more specific than that), rockcritics.com, in sharp rebuke to the current culture of downsizing and job redundancies, will be expanding its roster to three times its current head count (i.e., me plus two other guys). I’ll let Vic and Andrew introduce themselves through their upcoming posts, but I welcome other contributors as well. If you … Continue reading Come one, come anybody
So, I’ve had several people express interest in keeping this venture alive. I mentioned in the last post that there’s a cost to keep this going, and there is, but I didn’t mean to give the impression that it was the primary impetus behind my thinking—the cost is minimal (domain name + hosting). The thing for me (what’s been sticking in my craw a little … Continue reading (Maybe not) closing time
Rockcritics.com will officially close shop at the end of May (May 29, to be precise). It’s been a long, fun, once in a while even productive, run, but time to move on—and time to eliminate another expense (not a major one by any stretch, but every bit is helping right now). I will retain personal archives of all interviews and features, but I’ve no plans … Continue reading Closing Time
Apologies for the erratic schedule as of late. Truth is, this will continue for some time — through the summer, at least — as I’ve undertaken some new projects, a major one of which is scheduled to launch in July (and which you’ll hear about here). Will try to pop my head in the door with some updates every so often (as with this evening’s brief … Continue reading Erratic City
Sorry for the lack of posting recently, but it’s been an unusually busy and brutal December. Have one, possibly two, Pet Shop-related posts I’m hoping to do before Christmas, but we’ll see — if not next week, then almost certainly in the new year. Other stuff possibly on the agenda in the weeks ahead: – a year-end Top 10 — my first in at least … Continue reading Agenda
It looks like I may be stuck with this design, at least for now. (It’s a fine design, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not the particular template I want right now for this site.) The template I was using – Grisaille Demo, I think it’s called – simply won’t revert my text back to readable black text. I’m not confident it’s going to be … Continue reading New Look, At Least for Now
Argh, technical issues. Trying to make the text here readable once again. Continue reading Technical Issues
Some days, there’s just no predicting what will bring users to this site. Okay, so “critic ‘a dying profession’ 2013” is not exactly a shocker. But “bastion of sensibility”? Continue reading Search Terms, August 5, 2013
A number of things have prevented me from chiming in here for the past couple weeks, but I’ve lots of links and stuff to get to, so hopefully be back soon. Continue reading Back soon
Trying to set up comments again, but the site has been inundated in recent months by spammers, so the comments box might get shut down from time to time. I’ve set them up for the time being so that I am required to approve any that come through the door. I’ve never been keen on having to approve legitimate comments, but I’ll do so at … Continue reading Comments
