Linked to Article Series: Blog a Day (BaD) 2014

I'm going to let this out of the way:

It's 10:16 PM right now in Belgium, and because I was out of town the whole day with no acces to Pixlbit, I was looking forward to see the comments in my Danganronpa blog..... But to my dissapointment, only two people commented. Though i'm not angry and I'm usually cool if a blog gets a few comments, i'm just dissapointed I didn't get many reactions because it was a blog I was very much hopping to write the most and I just wanted to expose the site to Danganronpa. Okay, maybe people did read the blog and I'm certainly guilty on seeing but not commenting on blogs (sorry daftman), but I just feel like all the hours I did for that blog were wasted. Sigh.

Oh well, since I was out of town and I didn't have time to write a longer blog, here's another batch of cool songs (which are still better than pandas and cat gifs).

Anyway, that's all for today.

Truth be told, I didn't see it. You're writing in BaD season. A lot of blogs get overlooked in this period, especially if they don't have a name that jumps out at you. I will have to go and have a look though.

 Also, it's awesome that you like Agalloch, although it came out of left field. Wasn't expecting you to be a fan of avant gard folky black metal lol.

Fair enough. I also had the fear that the blog got overlooked, but hey, i'm not that angry and it's not worth getting too pissed off about it.

Yeah, i'm liking what i've heard of Agalloch, and I do seem to like Avant-Garde Folky Black Metal, though i'm a fan of experimentation in music and I must say that you have introduced me to the weird side of Metal.

Ok... sorry if this annoys you but I can't resist. RECOMMENDATION TIME!

And some old school In Flames for good measure :)

All awesome, espicially In Flames, since I was more familiar with their modern stuff. No wonder why they are the representatives for Melodic Death Metal.

Man, you must do another one of your music blogs sometime.

I probably will sometime soon. Yeah, I kind of hate modern In Flames. Their old stuff is so good!!!!

Has nothing to do with "lack of writing chops",Alejandro. Probably more of a matter of the BaD contest going on. Frankly, I already know I'm going to lose. lol. A blog everyday? I just don't have it in me nor the time. I'll check out the blog you mentioned though. Thanks!

Don't worry, i'm not angry at that and with BaD going on, I realize that not everybody can comment anytime.

Seems like an atmospheric music day. I like it. KSAU plays that Fleet foxes song. 

I know how you feel about little-commented, but hard-worked on blogs. I had that happen at 1up all the time. I think people will stumble on it if you tell them to go to the blog though. It's just hectic around here

Yeah, I was going for something atmospheric on this entry, or atleast on anything after Rain, because the first two can be considered Electronic.

I'm starting to dig Fleet Foxes a lot.

I can't really blame people for not commenting on my blog, since like you said, it's hectic around BaD (one of the reasons why I didn't do it last year).

This is actually why I don't really like Blog a Day.  Lots of blogs get missed.

Yeah, it's very hectic, and there's also the fact of not only keeping up with blogging, but also on comments, replies and other blogs.

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe they read it and just couldn't think of anything to say? It's hard keeping up when everybody is pumping out blogs like insane madmen. Headed over there right now Alex!

Yeah, I just got over with it, and I think people read the blog, but couldn't think of anything to comment, which in all fairness, I had done that lately, so I can't blame them.

I really enjoyed reading the blog.  I didn't have anything to say at that point, except for being confused about the use of LP.  Since I pick up LPs(long play records) on a regular basis.

I had forgotten about the Fleet Foxes.  Mykonos is probably my favourite of their songs.

LP is a very common term and acronym between gamers to refer to Let's Play's, so I can see the confusion you had if you weren't familiar with the term, but always familiar with the music format :P

Mykonos was my introduction to them. Don't regret that one bit.

I have the first Fleet Foxes LP. LOL. I haven't heard anything by them lately.

I think I remember seeing your blog but every day my inbox gets more and more ridiculous. I currently have 85 unread blogs in the list.

Holy damm! That's a lot of blogs.

ah yes. The eternal struggle of perosnal thoughts on how much we should expect in blog comments to blogs one write that are deemed to have alot of "effort" put into them.

I use to feel like that long ago when I first started out with blogging. It made me think that if I didn't get that many comments then my blogs might not be being read, thus what's the point in doing them in the first place.

In the end I just learned to be content that so long as people simply READ what I blog then it's all good. I understand how life can be busy and not everyone can comment to what I write to every blog. Just take heart that it's out there on the web. Who knows, someone might just happen upon it in a random internet search and like it. I had one of those who siad they read it first then went back to it later to help source his college paper.


Words have power, no matter if they are commented on or not.

Yeah you're right, I think as long as people had read my blog it's all right. Besides, I didn't throw a tantrum over this and I alse realized that because this was made during BaD, not many people had the time to read all their blogs in the inbox.
