What to write

As part of my New Year’s resolutions, I was going to concentrate on writing more and doing more essays here. That’s yet to start, as I find it hard to come up with things to say on a weekly basis: how’s the weather; what am I doing today? It doesn’t help that my already bad typing skills have deteriorated, and it’s a struggle to type more than ten words without having a simple spelling mistake (doing, have, and than so far). It’s not even that I’m typing fast – even when I slow down I hit the wrong keys (well, the wrong order, mostly). The vagaries of growing old.

So I’ll be typing more and hoping that spellcheck catches up with my mistakes. Maybe I should take a keyboarding course to increase my declining skills (would it work? could I relearn some of this stuff?). We’ll see.

Today’s podcast travels from the Athens scene, to early rock ‘n’ roll to power pop and then ends with the blues. Tune into today’s pod for Dreams So Real, Turning Curious, R.E.M., the Bangles. Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Matthew Sweet, Bob Mould, the dB’s, Redd Kross, Mavis Staples, Marcia Ball, and Shemekia Copeland.
