This blog is changing

THIS BLOG has had a makeover (or a 'relooking' as they like to call it here in Brussels). From May 1st, the Music Muziek Musique blog becomes mmmblog* (thanks Hanson!), a monthly blog for music lovers. As there are a million and one music blogs already, why should you bother checking this one out? Well, don't bother coming and checking it if you are just looking for Mp3s to download. mmmblog* won't be doing that unless the musicians in question offer us the Mp3s and ask to have them put up. And don't come here every morning looking for some flannel about Amy Winehouse's latest arrest, or whatever. mmmblog* will be about quality of posts, not quantity. In fact, aside from a few notices about upcoming Music Muziek Musique events and DJ playlists, I'm only going to be posting stuff once a month! That's right. The first day of each month, you can read all my thoughts for that month. You can read it as a micro blog, you can read it as a boutique blog, as long as you read it.
So what, you may ask, can we read? Each month's regular posts will be organised into one of five categories: Musings of the month (reflections on stuff that's been happening in the world of music in the last month); Mixtape of the month (I pick the best mixtape I've heard in the last month and explain why I like it); Myspace of the month (same principle as the mixtape, surprisingly enough); Memory of the month (could be a review of a classic album, could be a piece about a forgotten genre, record label, musical movement, whatever); Meeting(s) of the month (interviews with the music-makers - for the first month, it's a bit of a South African special, as I catch up with The Bulgarian and with Markus from Sweat. X).
Enjoy!
