Old Reviews!

After I left TONE in May 2009, I still had nearly twenty reviews that were written and had yet to be published. Every two months Jeff Dorgay would give me my assignments for the next issue, and not all of them made it. None of them were outright rejected...sometimes we ran out of space, sometimes the equipment was revised or discontinued and sometimes behind-the scenes shenanigans were to blame.

So I'd thought I'd start releasing them here. An unpublished article is like the proverbial unexploded bomb...it needs to fulfill its destiny. So over the next few days, I'll be throwing these onto the blog! I hope you enjoy!

Welcome!

This is more of an experiment than anything.

When I left TONEAudio in 2009, publisher Jeff Dorgay told me, "You should do your own thing, like a blog!" Just a few weeks ago, a person completely unrelated to the audio industry told me the same thing. While I do work as a search engine optimization (SEO) content writer for a couple of companies, I still have no idea if anyone will "follow" my blog or even know that it exists.

I could use my SEO smarts and use repetitive keyphrases to lure you into my fold, but I'd rather just talk about the things I want to talk about. That means NO editors, NO filters, nothing between you and me.

For those of you still curious about who I am, you can check out the Vinyl Anachronist columns at Perfect Sound Forever:

There's a nifty inner page that has all seventy-something of my Vinyl Anachronist columns, too:

There! I said "The Vinyl Anachronist" four times. That's the magic amount for SEO purposes.
