This will be the last in the ‘meta’ series, so I figured I’d give it a title that won’t be funny even a week from now.

OK. I’ve suffered another hard drive crash. It was one of my externals, and almost everything was backed-up on one of the other ones. But it made me rethink the whole way I was doing this. (And by “doing this” I mean “thinking about doing this“.)

A problem that bugged me about the randomness of what record to select depends on a process that is easily corrupted (by me) or disrupted by technical concerns. A less asshole way to say this is I’m trying to make it easier to continue while making it harder for me to cheat.

Enter: my sidebar blog. I’ve been fucking with tumblr a lot more than wordpress lately. Really, I’m trying not to as much since I want to create at least some original content on my own server that I pay for. (I now remember starting that tumblr to remind myself to care less about last.fm…eh.) Anyway, I got everything merged together now and it looks cool and it works so who cares what the original concept was because it was way too complicated.

This really feels like a huge cop-out to me, but life goes on. [Note to self: get life.]

Click here and you get a record I not only own, but have listened to. I will be choosing records to talk about from there. Now I need to clean up and recode that a bit, but I’ll try not to get too crazy.
