Maybe not so final!
For a while now I've returned to doing Mixcloud uploads—just not the same as the 1,234 I'd already done. It was becoming a bit repetitious, blogging the uploads every day, adding links—plus time-stamping. The big instigation to my return to uploading was moving my Sonos smart speaker unit upstairs beside my bed for listening while falling asleep, and often for wakeful hours in the middle of the night. It evolved that the thing I most liked listening to was a random queue of my "Eek-clectic!" cloudcasts. No bad news from NPR, no radio station playing music, not even 95wavefm I tried for a few nights. Those didn't quite cut it. What was lacking from the humongous Mixcloud listening queue were the numerous hourlong mixdisks I'd still been producing daily since ceasing to upload.
So I'm back at it, going forward with new ones—and until I work back to 1,235 (in a couple months)—adding two hours of music a day to the stockpile. Without the extra work of blogging here, finding links, performing time-stamping, it no longer gobbles up my mornings quite so much, at least not in the same way. I do share the uploads with all the places Mixcloud automatically allows (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest—and Wordpress.) Additionally, I upload screenshots of my playlists to Twitter. So that's where it's at right now—yesterday's new upload was 1564 and today's will be 1565, as well as one from earlier on (1296). The album sources for the songs can still be located at the pdf I update daily.
Kinda crazy, I know. But I like it!
