A brief post about losing work
For the sake of my sanity I am going to think of losing my piece on Akron/Family's album Love is Simple (2007) as a blessing in disguise. I wasn't entirely happy with what I'd written, but I was glad to have got something down and had decided to post it anyway. Then the file got corrupted and is lost forever. To satisfy my need to update this blog at least once a week, I am writing this to advise anyone reading to back up work.
If there's anything you want to keep, go back it up now. Even if it's a crappy 500 word essay that you don't really feel good about, just think what it would be like for someone to come and destroy for no good reason whatsoever. A bad first draft is a wonderful thing.
Don't put it off any longer: back it up now.
To make up for this mishap I'll be writing two pieces this week. One about Akron/Family and one about another band beginning with A.
