Indie Launchpad Update
Just wanted to give an update on Indie Launchpad. As you've probably noticed, reviews have slowed to a trickle. I've been trying to get some done over the last few weeks, but with best intentions, the spare time has just not been forthcoming. Indie Launchpad has always been a labour of love for me, so first let me put your mind at rest, I am not going away, or shuttering the shop, as I have done with a few other web properties. Indie Launchpad will continue, as will the podcast, but I have to try to reorganise my life and find a way to plug Indie Launchpad back in again. With this in mind, I'm going to place the podcast on indefinite hiatus, while I try to put to bed a few other time drains and then think about how I can move everything forward.
On top of this, Google in it's infinite wisdom, is playing silly buggers with Feedburner feeds, which this site uses, as does the podcast and I think I'd prefer to fiddle about in the background and make sure everything is running smoothly, before getting up a head of steam and potentially causing myself unnecessary headaches.
So what does this mean for people who have already submitted material to Indie Launchpad, well nothing. Your music is still in review rotation and I will get to it when I find some time to actually start listening again. While I am not actively contacting bands and artists, you are still more than welcome to approach me through the usual channels, and partners with whom I have a working relationship, may still continue to submit. Anyone contacting me for review, will be made aware of this post and will then be able to decide if they still want to submit.
So this is by no means a goodbye note. I just need to finally try to get my priorities in order and then I can focus on the things I truly love, with Indie Launchpad being very much a part of this.
Anyway I will cross post this on the main Indie Launchpad site and the Podcast site, just so I reach everybody. I'm not going to post any artificial dates or timelines, suffice to say it will be sooner rather than later. You'll still probably find the odd review being posted here, so that should put your mind at rest, that I haven't vanished off the face of the earth.
Thank you to all the artists and bands who have made Indie Launchpad a sheer joy. Not forgetting a very special thanks, to you, the reader, who hopefully has found many great bands and artists to purchase music from.
Here's looking forward to a reinvigorated Indie Launchpad coming to a web browser near you soon.
Thanks, Colin
