It's coming.

That's fair enough. Sorry to hear you were sick: maybe stay off the ice floes?

Well, everyone gets mentioned as long as they update that week. It's getting it featured that's the prize...

You're welcome. It was the obvious choice. You've done good things in there...

Thanks for the in-depth feature Trollheart and yes it was you that got me into writing my journal in the first place....... but you suggested that I write progressive rock one

You're welcome. When you put the words "classic" and "journal" together there is only one name that comes up...

Wow! Imagine if you had done a Progressive Rock journal! Would you have all the fans and admirers you do now, I wonder? And the answer is no, you would not. You went the right direction, without question. Glad I was able to start you on your journey anyway. 1971 and 1972 coming up this week!

The thing is, I don't know progressive rock as well as I know the 'heavy' stuff and I'd also say it's harder to write about progressive rock in depth, as there are so many experts out there when it comes to prog.

God damn it. Now I have to update weekly just so I don't feel left out.

Just noticed this. Thanks. It's all of your mediocrity that inspires me to greatness.

Or you could just bull**** it.
I reviewed an album I'd never even heard and nobody noticed.
In fact some people agreed with me.

Really? Where's that? I'd like to read it.

Classic! Just goes to show what bollocks reviewing is anyway.

Course you could. But I'm not talking about one album, I'm talking about reviewing the entire history of a genre. Could I bull**** my way through a history of jazz, or punk, or hip-hop? And neither could you. You'll get away with that in small doses, if you want to, but not over a year's worth or more of reviewing. That's the point I'm making.

Hope you're feeling better by the way...
