Belated Resoutions and Other Thoughts for 2010
2010 should be a good year. A lot of changes, but that should be good. And that includes this blog and the associated website, https://www.feastofnoise.com/.
So let me just run through what I have been thinking regarding this site:
Number one is simple. Just watch and edit what I write. In short, just tighten things up a bit. Check my spelling and grammar. Perhaps even try to remove some the extra verbiage.
In addition to cleaning up the Western Front, I do want to spice it up. Writing about the show the night or week before at the Delancey or the Trash Bar is fine but I want to push things a little further. I want to take a look at art, politics, White Plains and NYC, money, or whatever else strikes me as interesting.
In addition to my own ramblings, the Western Front will hopefully have people contributing. These will range from folks I knew in high school to people I have come to know through the Wild West. In short, anyone who would could offer something of interest and who is willing to share, whether through image or text.
That has already begun. Last week, Alan Rand, a photographer and artist who has been part of the NYC music scene for years, shared some details on a show he saw at the Trash Bar. Being a photographer, he shared pictures. Hopefully more to follow from him and others!
Regarding the site, https://www.feastofnoise.com/ , hopefully we just continue to expand the calendar, listing any and all shows in the area, and continue to announce new music and artist updates that have caught our attention. The one thing I want to introduce to the site and this hopefully happens soon is a YouTube Playlist or Channel, but I need to look at how to do such a move. Those of you who have followed the site might recall there was a YouTube / Video page previously. Looking back that was just a sampling of what I would like to see develop.
Anyway, keep checking out the Western Front and the Feast Of Noise. And if you have anything you want to get up on the calendar, or listed in the news, or dare I say contribute to the blog, send it over!
