Just a quick post to say that at least for the near future I'm going to stop writing an essay-style review for each show that I listen to and that these blog posts are instead just going to serve as archives for my live tweets about each show.
I've really enjoyed the live tweeting aspect of these reviews since I started doing them six or so months ago, and as I've tried with each review to both tweet during the show and do a long write-up after the show, I've come to realize two things: a) the essay-style reviews have come to resemble a summary of the impressions I've already tweeted and b) it takes too damn long to write both types of review for each and every show and it's actually making me want to listen to new shows less, knowing that afterward I have to take thirty minutes to write up an essay about it.
So, for now at least, I'm just going to paste the content of my tweets into each post, and probably include a paragraph or so of impressions and the occasional video. But I think getting rid of the full-on essay reviews will make me enjoy this a lot more and make me way more likely to keep reviewing in the future.
