Change will come...
So here we are at mGrooves plotting the next steps. I was all ready to ramp up some more remixes, edits, etc and all the while concocting changes to this blog space, the attached websites, and mulling the wonderful changes in my personal life. And then BOOM!
Much of it came falling apart…
I, along with many of us fans of electronic music, have witnessed the likely passing of a local Baltimore iconic landmark, Shorty’s, and thus the loss of the monthly home of Lust4Life for the past 3 years; and the strange halting of ORG after what seem a steady and progressive rise. In short, the passing of older and newer. This has been coupled with the destructive hacking of mGrooves and Lust4Life that rendered the website nearly unusable.
So now the re-arranging takes on a whole new scope. And that is quite alright, albeit initially frustrating. It now presents an opportunity to fix some tricky issues and to re-emerge wearing brand new clothes. As the Semisonic song lyric goes in Closing Time, “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end…”
With that idea, this is step one of an end of an older beginning and the beginning of some future end. The blog has been reformulated. I have used some of the old categories, In The Lab, Say What?, Where Ya At?, and Bleeding Ink. But a new category has been added, BSB – Brand Spankin’ Bought.
Step two will be to integrate podcasts with this blog, thereby making them more accessible. Video podcasts (e.g. Scandal Guerrilla Video) will also be carried through this channel. Other syndication will occur through Facebook and other public blog rolls. Some cross publication between this blog and other blogs will occur as well.
Step three will be the launch of Lust4Life as a monthly podcast. Will we be searching for a new home for the monthly? Absolutely! In fact the search has already begun. In the mean time, you can still hear some of your favorite Lust4Life guest deejays along with some new peeps too.
Then we will be turning our attention to the over all websites of mGrooves and Lust4Life, and our email lists. There will also be changes made to our mGrooves and Lust4Life merchandise store. But stay tuned for those changes. They will all be announced through this space.
All in all, we still want to bring you the best in high quality electronic music, parties, and people. We see every set back as an opportunity to rise again and shine like a phoenix.
Feel free to comment and to send me feed back.
