Extended Play…

Once upon a time I reg­is­tered a domain with the inten­tion of cre­at­ing a specif­i­cally music-targeted blog. The name I went for was Extended Play since that was the name I’d done a radio show under for some five years, but that dot com was of course long gone. So I set­tled on extplay.com and duly paid my twelve bucks to put my tag on that.

That was some years back and — as with a bunch of other domains I own — it sim­ply sat there as a when­ever and I paid my retainer auto­mat­i­cally each year.

Then I decided I needed to spin my musi­cal pas­sions away from this blog, which had evolved into some sort of odd amal­gam of ran­dom — often extended — thoughts and ram­bles about travel, music copy­right, music indus­try, pol­i­tics, food and more, with the orig­i­nal musi­cal rai­son d’blog being lost in the morass.

Thus, it was time to spin that off and Extended Play finally found a life:

This of course, doesn’t mean I’ll kill this blog — quite the oppo­site, it means it will still be the place I’ll post any thoughts other than those devoted to the music itself, includ­ing music indus­try stuff. Extended Play will be the play I throw up the links I may come across as I trawl the net look­ing for the stuff I love, and — irreg­u­larly — post about an album, a sin­gle or an online mix that I like.

Mostly for no other rea­son that I do, and like so many peo­ple that love music I like to tell oth­ers about it — and be told about it. So every now and then I might get some­body else to write some­thing about a record they regard as rather special.
