Close observers of this blog (that is to say, pretty much just me) will notice that I removed the index of bands in the right-hand column. Why? Well, I'll tell you: Blogger limits the "Labels" (or tags) field in each blog entry to 200 characters. This impinges on my ability list each band I've listened to that day. Why? Well, I'll tell you: As the CDs I listen to get shorter and shorter, I can get through more and more of them on a given day. When the discs were 70-odd minutes long, I never reached the 200-character limit. But now that we're down into the 50-minute range, I'm butting right up against it. In short, more CDs means more bands, which means more band names, which in turn means more characters to type.

So rather than omit names and risk an inaccurate tally, I wiped out the entire feature. I might bring it back, perhaps as a tally of all the truly "featured" bands--those that have been written about, as opposed to those simply under the "Also today" header.

I also might use the space to link to other blogs (like this one) that have discovered this ridiculous little experiment and have been kind enough to write about it and link here. Or I might just use it to link to blogs and other sites I think are just plain interesting.

Stay tuned.
