Change Making Changes

I'm making some changes to the blog to see if I can make it more interesting, I felt like it was getting a little stale so I put on a new coat of paint to make it look purtier. Along with the change of template I would like to make more changes to the look of the thing if I can figure out how to do it. I'll also try to be a little more creative with my posts, until this week I thought my writing was stuck in a rut so I'm going to try being a little looser. So we'll have to see what I can come up with. In the meantime, I noticed this year I've been using Yes songs to landmark things so this means it's time to feature "Changes" from the 90125 album.

"Where is my love life? Where can it be? There must be something wrong in the machinery."

I've made some changes to my blog sort of accidentally on purpose. The pictures stopped working on the main part of the posts for some reason so I started posting pictures on the sidebar. Then I changed the template and rearranged the whole mess to fit the change. This morning, I found out on my wife's computer the pictures in the main part of the posts show on other people's computers, just not mine. But by then I had changed the blog already. It was clear to me my computer had been possessed by the spirit of Prince to do wacky things just because it can. Thankfully, I was able to turn the computer off before it started wearing assless chaps. So I changed the template again to this sort of polka dotted shower curtain look which works for me for now.

Anyway, the blog has a new look which was probably a little overdue. And all this reminded me of the old movie Electric Dreams (1984) which was this boring movie about a guy trapped by his computer. So, here's Phil Oakey of Human League performing his lost solo soundtrack song "Together In Electric Dreams" from the movie Electric Dreams. And I think I'll throw on Human League's "Human" too, just because I haven't heard that song in decades.

A New Look

I decided to update the look of the blog today, I got tired of looking at the same template for the past however many months it's been since the last change. I tried to make it more personable, it was worth it just to include a picture of my dog Dixie!

Along with the new look will be a renewed focus on making this blog about music. I've tried to balance my entries so it isn't always about rock, but I'm going to give up on that and just write what comes up...which is usually music. I'll be looking for new writing angles about the tunes I love to hear so there will probably be some features that come and go.

I'm listening to the Instant Karma Save Darfur disc right now and plan to cover that one soon.

Lastly, big thanks to my wife for helping put together this blog. It wouldn't look right without her help.
