I'm not sure a formal announcement of any kind is necessary, but here it is:
I have finished all my music-writing assignments for the summer and I am not planning to do it regularly any more. Over the next few weeks, I have a number of features that will run in my usual outlets. But for the foreseeable future, I won't be doing "music writing" except for occasional contributions to Idol Chatter and anything I'm specially com$$ioned to do. I do plan to do other kinds of writing, which I guess I'll link to on this blog, too. I won't be able to escape pop music, of course, me being who I am. But as far as I can tell, the phase where I write lots of record reviews and features on bands is over for now.
So basically, things are going to be a bit quieter around here. Because I am a nerd, though, I will probably be updating my applied linguistics blog with some regularity.
PS: Here is a feature about Seattle's Light in the Attic Records. Thanks to Gwen for the photos!

Joel,
That's a really cool piece about Light in the Attic. That Saturday Knights record might be one of the best party records since Naughty by Nature's Hip-Hop Hooray.
what other kinds of writing (besides linguistics) do you plan to pursue?
thanks again so much for letting me tag along that day. twas awesome.
i am mostly posting a comment, though, to say that i am so glad that the beeswax joke lives on with at least one other person besides myself. i really am pretty addicted to using it instead of business at all times.
last week, for example, i ordered my own beeswax cards- and it is REALLY hard for me to call the business cards.
HOW IS CHINA?? are you there yet???
Ryan - Thanks, that's a cool label. I am not actually a big Saturday Knights fan but I bet that'd change if I saw them live. Andrew - travel writing, I hope, or I guess more "personal essay" type- stuff. I'm going to start setting my sights higher as far as publications I'm submitting to.
Gwen - I LOVE the beeswax joke and I'm sorry Seattle.net didn't credit you for the photos when they said they would. We're in China and it is HOT and FOREIGN.
