In thinking about my show Cover to Cover, I realize that I'm trying to do too much. And, like anything where you try to be more than one thing, you're not as good at any one of them as you could be.
As such, I am trimming my scope, focusing primarily on the albums (i.e., the namesake of the show), and leaning toward the mediocre and bad albums. (I mean, because how many ways can you say "this is awesome" before it gets annoying)?
Occasionally, I will do an off-schedule short where I analyze a cover song (Convering the Cover), because I have a few of those I'd like to hit (the first of which will probably be my Depeche Mode triple-shot). Also, I'll be doing a wide range of covers, good, bad, and ugly, turning it into a combination of old vs. new and "OMG WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT SONG, YOU BASTARD?!" (...and I have the perfect candidate for that one)
Plus, I may do unscripted vlogs on occasion, describing new songs and CD's I purchased, or, perhaps moreso, mashups that I have taken to listening to.
I just need to relax and do what I do. Will I get famous? Probably not, but I'm doing this for fun, and letting what happens happen.
That said, once I wet my feet on this other vlog I'm doing (see my other blog for details), I'll get to work on my first selections.
Here is a tentative schedule, with no dates in mind. Look for updates every two weeks or so until I get into a groove:
Show 1: Calling All Stations by Genesis
Show 2: Invincible by Michael Jackson
Show 3: Double Feature: 5150 and III by not-Van Halen
Show 4: 12 Inches of Snow (yeah, right) by Snow
Show 5: Polka Party by "Weird Al" Yankovic
Show 6: Fairweather Johnson and Musical Chairs by Hootie and the Blowfish
Details as they become available. For now, it feels good to actually pare this down.
