Hey! I did a thing! · 2:09am Dec 2nd, 2022
So, I decided “why not” and started a Ko-Fi page. I figure it can’t do any harm. It’s completely voluntary, and I might as well be making a passive income.

Sorry this took so long, but this took a while to write.
The new decade, and not much musical change quite yet. In fact, the general status of this year almost seems to be a step back in terms of musical genre diversity. 1960, in total, has fewer genres appearing than 1958 and 1959. The genres are overall less ‘out there’, and even the strangest genres are nothing like Tarentella or Exotica from years prior.
So, I have been keeping up with releasing one story a month this year, somehow. Even though I’ve been suffering through some Writer’s Block and diverging interests, I have managed to keep releasing a story (of varying quality) every month.
Now, this month is National Novel Writing Month.
I already have a lot to do with school, and I’ll be getting a job soon, too. I won’t be able to participate in NaNo and write some one-shot I have no clear ideas for.
This story’s weird in that I don’t have a lot to talk about regarding it, but I will start at the beginning.
So, first off, I’m not dead. I’m lurking and getting ready to begin writing on the story for October, but I wanted to give a general update and a few other things.
This story isn’t one of my greatest works, and in fact might need a little more added to it, just some minor context, it didn’t even come from all too interesting a place, but this is my duty and my blog views are tanking because my music blogs don’t really have an audience. So… I’m prepared to talk about Forgotten Memories.
All errors that appear are my own, and I apologize if any come up, though I appreciate corrections in the comments section.
1958 was over, and turned into 1959. Music was also evolving, though maybe not instantly or very quickly at all. However, 1959 starts to leak in some genres considered products of the 60’s.
I’m awfully serious on this blog. I’m tired of it, have something completely inconsequential I’ve been working on for the last couple days. If you read my blog posts for half-baked discussions of “art” as it relates to fanfiction… this isn’t that. You can head on your way if you are.
No, no, no. Instead, this is going to be something different.
I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot for music criticism videos. I watch all the Diamond Axe Studios and Todd in the Shadows videos, and I’m a fan of Mic the Snare. It could just be my special interest and lack of knowledge of other media critics, but music critics seem less driven by things like rant and skit comedy (unless you’re A Dose of Buckley; I never watch his music criticisms anyways), and more set on explaining what’s good about a song and what’s bad about it.
So, around 5-6 months ago, I did a ‘50 Questions’ thing to give people some info about me because I wanted to. I don’t know where I found the original, but I was browsing Themaskedferret’s profile earlier (at like 6AM) and found out about a slightly different list of 50 questions. I had already planned to do the 50 I’d already done for my 18th birthday, see what had changed, what hadn’t. I read through them, and realized
