A loose covenant

When I made my first post here the other day I shared the link on Facebook with an addendum stating that I can’t tell you what this blog will be, but I can tell you what it won’t be. Chest puffed, I followed that with a bold “Just ask me”. No one did so I'll just go ahead and elaborate.

This won’t be a blog with no set rhythm. That isn’t to say I won’t post random whatever, whenever, because that’s half the fun. But I will give readers content consistency they can depend on.

Neither will it be a cheap extension of my freelance work at Mirror. My weekly column there is a privilege I am proud to hold, but I’m not doing this blog to draw you in so much as to give myself and any readership I have earned a chance to branch out. I will write about Montreal, and hip hop and all its ingredients, but Blog Clocker also aims to give a little you more to mull over.

That said, I will share artist interview segments that don’t make it to print at Mirror or other publications. Some of the stuff I am privy to that never makes it to print is a shame and so I will make a point to share it here, by text, audio and video when possible.

I have a few regular weekly, bi-weekly and monthly features in mind that will in time give you and me both a better understanding of what this blog will be, but instead of talking about them I’ll just get them going.
