Some of you may have been wondering where Thirty Three RPM has been recently. Some of you might just be thankful you don't have a constant stream of album covers flooding your timeline.
These past few weeks I've not been in the right head space to write or create, and it's been hard for me to focus on this blog. Rather than giving up, I'm going to have a rethink.
I've been treating this site like a discount Pitchfork, feeling like I need a constant stream of in-depth reviews and content. I've occasionally pushed myself too hard or neglected other commitments because of this. In trying to create the best content possible I lost sight of what this bog was meant to be - fun.
Going forward, Thirty Three RPM is going to switch it up a bit.
Each week there will be a review of an Album Of The Week. There will also be a new Guest Playlist each week so please keep sending those in. The same goes for our brilliant Guest Reviews. On top of this, I'm going to be writing some more creative, free-flowing mini-essays on music, something a little different and more personal. These will become part of a new series called Freestyling.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has contributed to Thirty Three RPM. Having you guys get involved has honestly been amazing and I would love to keep this collaboration going.
This blog has helped me a lot during lockdown, but like all things, it is easy to burn out. Let's not let that happen.
Welcome to the new Thirty Three.
Alex
