earbuds & ticket stubs has undergone a makeover! After a few months of consideration, it became clear that E&TS had outgrown its training wheels and needed to adapt to fit the times. Namely, to allow its sole contributor (yours truly) time to sleep and eat sometime during my upcoming 7 year stint as a MA/PhD student.
Let me outline some of the house cleaning that’s been done:
- Hosted by Tumblr (i.e. not here; look at the URL): quicker and shorter updates = less long winded blurbs that normal blog formats would dictate. In fact, this post will hopefully be the most text you’ll ever read on the blog from this point on.
- Bad news: less original content. Good news: more links to free music.
- Linked sources: less informational overload = less time spent searching for what’s interesting to you.
- Bookmark bar: find links to my original content, including Youtube, Flickr and 8tracks, at the top of the website. I hope you’ll take a bit of time to check them out!
- Preset layout with minimal stylistic adjustments = less time dealing with webmastery stuff = more time for content (and sleep).
- earbuds & ticket stubs will no longer be Vancouver-centric in content, as I will be relocating from Vancouver to Fredericton, truly rocking from coast to coast.
In the end, the song remains the same— I aim to bring you timely music content from the perspective of a music lover, with the ultimate focus of connecting amazing (Canadian) artists with the people who appreciate their art. Thanks for all of your amazing support of earbuds & ticket stubs thus far, and I hope you enjoy the changes!
