Honestly, I just post what I like and try not to pay too much attention to a theme or trend, even if that is Americana. ACL is just a balance sheet of my likes, wants, obsessions, thoughts. No rhyme or reason really. If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. I would still hit the publish button regardless — even if there were a million people reading it or just my mom. Also, I think it is interesting that this topic of my topics comes up so frequently. I don't see that sort of thing come up in the comments of other blogs similar to mine. Maybe I am held to a higher standard, or maybe I am just fucking annoying to people. But at the end of the day it is a passive medium, you (the reader) come to ACL and not the other way around. New tag line perhaps? ACL, easy to avoid. Andrew — your thoughts are appreciated.
