I know there are many others out there besides me for whom the Super Bowl holds no interest whatsoever. What teams are even playing this year? Who gives a shit? Here’s what I’m doing today!
1. Making a huge vat of my delicious home made chili
2. Cleaning the Chick Tank
3. Vacuuming
4. Editing Interview with Drummer Gene Hoglan
5. Transcribing Interview with Mary J Blige’s drummer, ‘Lil Rex
6. Reading an awesome book, “Love Is a Mix Tape” by Rob Sheffield
At some point last year, the Modern Drummer Website crashed for a number of months. It actually seemed like the site was down for a million billion years, but it was probably not that long. When the site finally made a come back, most of the archived Drummer Update articles had either mysteriously “gone missing” or had moved to new and unknown URLs. Exciting!
I am only just now finding the time to rebuild my Modern Drummer website archive by meticulously tracking down each article via Google and re-entering the correct URL, where available. I’m about half way through the sludge right now. Soon all — or maybe most — of those links will once again lead to actual articles! It’s not a very pretty job, but who else is going to do that for you?
