It has been exactly one year since I started to upload material onto this website from rare cassettes, LP’s, 7″ and 12″ singles. By the thousands of comments left\u00a0on those posts,\u00a0it seems like the quest has been well worth it.<\/p>\n
It has been a learning curve for sure.<\/p>\n
I started my uploading\u00a0journey with the Touch Of Hysteria cassette\u00a0on October 23 2007,\u00a0and during\u00a0the next couple of months\u00a0I had sussed out it was much quicker to record the whole side of the tape rather than individual tracks on the tape. I also realised it was better to place both sides of a record onto the same post, rather than two seperate posts for two seperate sides…Doh!<\/p>\n
By the turn of the new year I had generally got the mix right on all the uploads posted,\u00a0including writing small essays on each post relevant to the band, artist, venue or any other interesting detail.\u00a0Also I started to take time adding photos or gig flyers within the posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Recently in the last three or four months, I have been ripping text off other sites to save me a lot of time trying to think of interesting, or new things, to write about whatever artist or band is featured in the posts. Since the birth of my little boy on April 6th 2008, time has been increasingly important to me.<\/p>\n
I have tried to\u00a0upload interesting material, of all kind of genres, every day (unless I am away from\u00a0my records, tapes or the computer of course, which is not too often)\u00a0for the KYPP faithful to check out and hopefully enjoy, discuss\u00a0or whatever.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0am lucky enough to have\u00a0worked full time for\u00a0twenty years now at the same place (Southern Record Distributors), I also run four\u00a0smaller websites (which do not take up too much of my\u00a0time ), plus the boy is starting to leave his mother’s side and needs much more time with myself, his father. Time which of course, I\u00a0am more than prepared\u00a0to give.<\/p>\n
Recording the material (a C90 takes 90 minutes to record to the harddrive), converting to mp3, getting the mp3 on mediafire,\u00a0scanning or photographing sleeve artwork, \u00a0photobucketing those photos or scans. Going on relevant websites to find extra images or text to upload onto the post all take a fair amount of time.<\/p>\n
I have therefore\u00a0made a decision to cut down on the amount of posts I will upload\u00a0onto this website\u00a0each week. Normally, through the past months, it could be\u00a0ten to\u00a0twelve posts a week, never less than\u00a0seven (one a day) anyway.<\/p>\n
I am planning to upload material when I can, but not on a regular basis like you are all used to. Maybe I can find time for\u00a0three\u00a0or\u00a0four uploads a week, maybe more or maybe less. I don’t know for certain how much time I will have to spare.<\/p>\n
One thing I do know for certain is that I will still be uploading much more rare and interesting\u00a0material for the next year to come, just not on an everyday basis.<\/p>\n
Whilst you wait for new posts, it may be a good opportunity to check out the archives (on the right hand side underneath recent comments) for stuff you may have missed out on when it was originally uploaded. Also some good stuff over in the post 86 section to check out.<\/p>\n
Lot’s of material already uploaded these past twelve months\u00a0to comment on, even if a new post does not come fresh each day.<\/p>\n
Thanks for the post support, via the comments in the last year, it’s been very uplifting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
