A Certain Taste

I started this blog for a few reasons. I wanted to get back into writing regularly. I'm not saying I'm great at it, but I enjoy the craft. There was a time when I put out MMA articles almost every day. I miss that. But that was when I was single, a full-time student and living with a flatmate. Now I've got a partner and I'm working full time with two kids. So I've had to ease myself back into it. I also want to force myself to commit to doing something on a regular basis. I have a habit of putting off things that are for me. Just for pleasure. It's really easy to get sucked into just doing the next thing then the next thing then the next thing. Purposefully resting is important. I also bail on things I enjoy doing and flit between multiple things but never finishing any of them and I want to break that. I chose to write about music because I was stuck in a rut of listening to the virtually the same things I have for years. I've been listening to new releases...

 Here's the only death metal I've ever recorded. There's a few things  I don't like about my playing. I wish I'd spend a little longer getting a few of the double kick parts down properly instead of going "meh that'll do!" - most noticeable in Manufactured Apocalypse, and also I should have insisted that the stick clicks be taken out of the song Face. But yeah there you go, pretty happy with it overall apart from that. Vulsellum - Face EP by Kieran McRobben
