This is your periodic reminder that my ongoing music review Tumblr Every Damn CD, is well, ongoing… In fact, I have a second Tumblr, Art Rises where I reblog art and stuff from this website gets posted.

Miles Davis – Birth of the Cool
Tumblr Jazz
I may not have mentioned this before, but I have a blog on Tumblr that is devoted to a somewhat geeky and idiosyncratic project: reviewing every music CD I own. It’s called Every. Damn. CD. and it’s got quite a history. I’ve been working on it for a long time, because I have long spells… Read More Tumblr Jazz
Theme-Hunting and Other Follies
I know I do this randomly and seemingly out of a sense of restlessness, but this time I think I may keep it a while. I’ve soured of the giant-header themes: no one needs to scroll through an image to get to the content. This one is clean, has the content front and center, and… Read More Theme-Hunting and Other Follies
Everything’s a Problem is the Tumblr You Didn’t Know You Needed

The Templars, of course, met their brutal end before the Middle Ages were… Read More New Content: Demon-Killing and Caliphates
I Just Figured Out How To Tumblr. Possibly How to Blog.
So I mentioned that I was re-vamping my Tumblr from having a no real purpose to having a purpose. In the past 2 days I’ve gained nearly 500 followers. Granted, it’s Tumblr, so following is easy and doesn’t necessarily lead to connection or interaction with contact. It’s like Twitter that way. Of all those followers,… Read More I Just Figured Out How To Tumblr. Possibly How to Blog.
Giving My Tumblr a Purpose
I have a Tumblr for reasons that I never understood. It was just a thing to get, and a direct violation of my actual purpose in having a single blog with my name on it. But there’s a problem that’s never quite been satisfied. I had, at one of my old dead blogs, a music… Read More Giving My Tumblr a Purpose
