Ha. You see what I did there? That was a parodying of an Underoath song in the title. Catch that? Yeah? Nah? Ok, whatever, moving on.

Where the heck have I been anyway? I know, right? It’s been a heck of a year. The radio station, as well as our distribution deals, have stood firm and braved the storm of a roller coaster year. The blog though? Not so much. I’ve had to take some time to reevaluate what we’re going to be doing here. Not in terms of “what,” but more so in terms of “who” and from “where.” I realize that may seem a bit vague. It basically boiled down to a matter of setting a content schedule that can fit well with the workflow of all the other happenings and stay consistent. Prior to this “reinventing of the wheel,” so to speak, the coverage here was a mishmash of various affiliations and curation. Just all too much all over the place. Get to the point already, I hear you. The point is that the blog is back on track, and I’m excited about the upcoming coverages. I think it’s going to even better than before.

And with that, I find it opportune to segue into introducing an Apple Music playlist I’ve been curating comprised of music found on TikTok. It’s certainly one I’ll be mentioning often, as a lot of the music I’ll be writing about will be things I find there. I watched a video recently of someone who was making the case that social media is “dead,” and that we are in an era of “interest” media. I found it interesting. The content creator in the video was analyzing social media behaviors that we’ve adopted over time and how those clash with interest media algorithms of today. And I have to admit, that shift in mindset applied to engaging on YouTube, IG Reels, but in particular TikTok, has worked out well for me and my music preferences with regard to what kind of music I’ve been finding lately. In other words, I love these jams! Here’s the playlist, and my TikTok profile.
