Hello everyone!
If you've made it this far, you are probably familiar with the AFDFPJ blog and/or my ramblings from around the internet. Thanks for dropping by.
Okay to get things rolling, here's a question/poll about the things you like best about the blog (assuming you actually like it!).
AFDPJ really just started out as a place to archive a "Top 100 Albums of All-Time" list I'd been posting up on the Popjustice discussion forum over the course of several months in 2016. By being in control of the hosting, I could make sure the links and images wouldn't be mucked around with, or randomly disappear all the time.
Once I'd done that, I began branching out a bit. But the real change seems to have been when the articles became much longer and more detailed. The featured albums series, the Chris Rea deluxes. The rundown of all my #1 singles from the personal Top 40 charts I used to compile is an ongoing task, there are about 600 of those (going up to 2010) so I try to cover a few of these every so often.
AFDPJ isn't driven by constantly adding new content, though, which is just as well given my health. So if something gets published, it's because it's definitely been worth working on and putting the time and energy into it. And it offers something more than "just another review".
Anyway, I'm interested to see what the people who actually read the blog think!

In depth looks at albums / singles (many familiar) which offer a different perspective. Is very easy to become influenced by one's own feelings - great to see other takes, particularly in the setting of how it impacted you at the time.
Any chance of continuing the Q articles?

Hi nlgbbbblth - yes, the second batch of Q articles, picking up from late 1991, are in the pipeline. Hate leaving something unfinished, and it'll make a change to talk about some albums from post-1992 that I've not yet touched upon.
