The Music Banter Members' Journals Monthly Update Thread

[Trollheart]

Coming soon?

Just throwing out the idea here: if anyone wants to use this thread to announce the ideas they have for next year drop me a line, as I'll be including a section on that from next week, assuming anyone wants to advertise. If not, I'll be just doing my own journals. But it's a chance both to tell people what to expect and maybe to push yourself to actually do all this "new stuff" you keep promising yourself you must start. Nobody's going to hold anyone to anything, but you can certainly get your ideas announced if you want.

I'll be creating a new album next year which will include quite a few new influences from poking around this forum and finding new stuff that catches my ear. I might chronicle the journey, so there's that.

An instrumental track musically expressing Spider-Man's aerial journey through New York City?

You get me. Finally. Someone gets me. I'm so happy.

I'm thinking of doing some kind of AOR inspired journal in the new year, that won't be a top 10 or 20 like my main journal, but more like and educational nostalgic visit into late 70s-80s AOR, and would probably move along to present day at a similar pace to my metal journal.

Seems public opinion is with you my man Josef, so as they say go for it. But I'd hope to see that it is very different from the other two, which, no offence to either (and I think Sidewinder was first) are very similar. But like they say, your journal(s) is/are yours, you do what you want. Look forward to seeing it.

Edit: Batty, shut up and get your Voyager episode two ready. I explained about the fact that I had the idea for the 2000AD journal almost a year ago, just slow to put it into effect, and if you think I have some machine that allows me to tune into your thoughts and take your ideas before you even have them, well, all I can say is, patent pending, so watch out guy!

US, sounds like a great idea and a natural progression from your heavy rock/metal opus. I think you'd do another definitive guide definitely.

Actually Streetwaves did it first, only he did it in a thread instead of a journal.

And if Josef goes into more detail than those other ones then it'll probably look more like Unknown Solider's journal than Goofle's or Sidewinder's and that's no bad thing because US's journal is probably the most active on the site.

I think Unknown Soldier has decent set up. It has a very orderly presentation going from year to year.

As most active I thought it was Th, maybe more collectively. Taken together, Trollheart's journals are nearing a quarter of a million views for all of his journals -- he's presently @ 243,452 views. I know that isn't a statistic of total viewers, but it still impressive.

Well Trollheart is like a pillar of this community and is the heart and soul of 'journal land' especially with how he promotes it all.

As for my journal, I decided to present it in the form of how I would like to read it myself, which is in an organised/historical in-depth manner.

No I understand. It's totally non-sketchy that you had the idea, but never carried it out until after I had done it myself. I wouldn't dream of accusing you of plagiarism.
