well, maybe you’ve been won­der­ing what has hap­pened to my pod­cast. i talked a lot about hav­ing some excit­ing stuff planned for my 100^th episode (and around then), but that was in july. months have passed, and noth­ing. well, all of the excit­ing stuff i wanted to do, i couldn’t get any­thing more than luke­warm responses from the folks i wanted to have as guests, so i guess i’ve scrapped it. the whole thing.

i don’t want to come across as all emo, but i’ve only recently heard from three peo­ple that they lis­ten reg­u­larly, and i guess i just don’t feel moti­vated to do it if it’s the dig­i­tal equiv­a­lent of a tree falling in a for­est. my increasingly-​​irregular sched­ule must have clued you in (if you actu­ally paid atten­tion, that is to say), so i sup­pose one can tell i’m just not feel­ing it.

in a way, a shame, as i’ve cer­tainly found a lot of music i enjoy lis­ten­ing to lately, and i wish i had peo­ple around to talk to about it, to share it. that’s the point, there: i wish i had peo­ple around. doing the pod­cast must have given me the idea that i would be cre­at­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with my friends (and maybe make some new ones) about music i enjoy and they might enjoy as well. that didn’t really hap­pen. no rea­son why it couldn’t, but i’ll look else­where for that. try a new method, maybe, some­thing dif­fer­ent. i still want the con­nec­tion, but it’s not hap­pen­ing like this. i’ll have to come up with some­thing else.

any­ways, i fin­ished with 99 episodes, so some would say it is incom­plete. i can see that. maybe it ends now, incom­plete, as a reminder of _​_​_​_​_​_​_​. maybe i fin­ish it later, some­how, appro­pri­ately. we’ll see.
