With each new year comes new change, and I am making a big one here at John's World.   I've decided that ultimately this blog has been just too varied in its posts and perhaps I need to be a little more focused on what I write about here.  Over the past four or five years, I've been writing about all sorts of things here on John's World, like roller coasters and amusement parks, memoirs, travelling, items of interest, and most of all, music.

Well, I've decided that perhaps the same people who like to read my personal posts do not necessarily like to read my posts on music, and visa versa.  I've been thinking that maybe since I do post so many items on music, including Song of the Day, album and song reviews, and top ten lists, maybe I should begin a new blog dedicated to only music.  So that's what I did.

Beginning today, January 2nd, 2015, all music-related items written by me will be posted to the all-new John's Music World.  So if you're a fan of my music pieces, then click on the title to bring you over there and if you happen to have a Google account, please subscribe.  As for the WordPress mirror site to John's World, for now I'll be continuing the way I've been doing.  Remember, John's Music World is still a work in progress, so be patient as I begin to make it what I want it to be...

John's Music World

March is New Wave Month

I had a revelation the other day whilst riding in the car.  I was listening to my 80's New Wave playlist on my iPod and found myself jamming to the music and reliving fond memories for hours.  So I began thinking about doing a whole month of New Wave music on John's World.  Good idea, right?

Anyway, here's how it's going to work:

Everyday in the month of March, dubbed New Wave Month, I will post new wave songs for Songs of the Day.  Since there is so much to choose from, there will be days when I'll do multiple songs by the same artist, and I'll even try to throw in some tidbits.  All of my articles on Yahoo about the genre generate lots and lots of page views, so hopefully this will stir up some interest.  I've already got several Facebook friends in on the idea, so I am sooo looking forward to it!  Requests are being accepted, so if you like, leave a comment on any blog post with the label New Wave and I'll try to get yours in, with a mention, of course!

In the meantime, here's a teaser from one of my favorite, albeit short-lived bands of new wave.

Don't mind me honey
I'm just looking
Smelt your chicken
And I watched you cooking
Souped up, jacked up, cracked up, stacked up
You're a bad stain
And you need to be cleaned up
