Two Thousand and Ten

2010 eh? Phew. At least 20 years after the death of vinyl was announced!

Well, NC has been going for a while now; must be about 12 years since we first dj’ed as NC, and 10 since I set up this site. We’ve been doing the night at the Sally for the past 2 years, and had some great guests on, and this site has had some great mixes and contributions from all manner of lovely people. So, what to do next?

When I first started the site, it was just a way of highlighting things to my mates, without having to email them all with links every day. Since then, music blogs have increased considerably in terms of quantity and quality; it’s hard to ‘compete’ for clicks, and is getting harder and harder. Some people seem to have all the time in the world to write great pieces, record rare and long-lost albums for download, interview artists, etc, etc. I don’t have time for all that. Do I carry on with it, in a (comparatively) half-arsed form? Once one starts competing with some of the great blogs out there, it becomes a never-ending challenge. Like promoting a night; the NC night at the Sally has been tonnes of fun, but when I’m competing with countless other nights, and countless other Fbook invites, promos, etc – well, what do you do?

I’m not moaning – the fact that there is so much quality out there is fantastic. I’m just not sure what to do next.

Answers on a postcard please.
