This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of me starting this whole Track of the Week business. The first post was Chemtrails by Beck (although the seed was perhaps sown the year before when I heard With You I'm Born Again by Billy Preston and Syreeta in a supermarket.)
Anyhow - I think that's quite an achievement. One post a week for ten years. A decade of a person's life . The highs and lows, (and flat bits I suppose) mapped out and attached to different songs* week by week. A triumph of discipline if not quality.
So is now the time to wrap this all up? As the Strokes asked Is This it? (That was another possible for this week.)
I don't know to be honest. Maybe I'd miss it. Or perhaps something else should replace it. Choices appear to be:
- Carry on regardless
- Have a break then pick it up again
- Stop altogether
- Do something different
- Write something when I've got something to write about
Or something else I haven't thought of yet.
While I think about it here's What Do I Do Now? Sleeper's 1995 single that reached number 14 and is from the terrific album The It Girl which was released the following year.
* OK, I've used different (and differently-titled) versions of Wrong Place, Right Time by The Fall and Jumper Clown by both Marc Riley and the Creepers and The Wedding Present. If I do carry on then this gets more likely I suppose.
