The times they are a changing…

Wow.

It’s been this long…. I guess in many ways the length between blog posts from me is sort of the point of this blog in the first place.  Don’t worry, I’ll make it make some sense just stick with me for a few minutes.

For four + years I’ve been plugging away at TWM.  From the days when it was a blog with nobody but me posting… until the first version of the dot-com was made for me and allowed TWM to have an expanded roster.  Just at the end of 2007 we finally got the new 2008 version of TWM up and finally I’ve been happy with what we have here.

I’ve been somewhat unhappy with the output of TWM lately.  The reviews have not been coming in at the pace that I wish they would, and I just haven’t had the time like I have in the past to pick up the slack.  I could have rushed something out, but those usually aren’t worth reading anyhow.

Some of you know, others don’t but the TWM series that I’ve been doing at the Rancho has resulted in a pretty awesome opportunity for me.  I’ve been hired as the new full time booker at the Rancho Relaxo.  This is an unbelievably chance for me, and one that I am so grateful to have.  It will come with some changes though… and don’t worry I’m not about to shut down TWM.  I am however, going to be moving into a bit more of a managerial role with the site.

I still intend to file regular show reviews (yes it seems I’m the only one who files those anyhow), start doing more and more interviews and try to revitalize that section of the site.  But you won’t be reading as many reviews from myself.  I’m just involved with a lot of these bands and now and it seems you could make an argument that I am in many cased having bias towards some of them.  I’ll still the file the odd review of a band who never would play TWM at the Rancho.  But for now, I’ll be adding a few writers in the weeks to come in the hopes that we can get back to daily review updates.

I love TWM, and have some really exciting things in store for you in the months to follow (both offline and online).  For those of you who read my reviews regularly, hopefully you’ll find the live reviews will do the trick!
