A-Z Challenge 2013



| INTRODUCTION:

So here's the thing. Leaving aside the issue of terrible grammar in that opening sentence I've done a few blog challenges in the past, they're both fun and challenging (1), but the A-Z was my first and remains my favourite. Of course the first time I did it my subjects were just a random selection of alphabetical miscellanea and last time I did it I actually tried to give out useful/less information.

The biggest change in then and now is that then I was stuck in a job that let me have a lot of hours to think about all the various topics and didn't mind if I scribbled them down on the back of official type forms. Whereas now I've left and am currently designated officialus artus studentus (2)

The thing of it is that my previous entries have been large walls of text (3). Admittedly it's often funny text, occasionally has a point and I'm happy to share anything that gets scribbled down in a fit of inspiration/madness/carefully thought out and reasonable discussion (4).

But this time around it's going to be different. This time I've decided that, due to aforementioned studentage, I'll most likely be bogged down in assignments and essays where I must talk about a painting of a daisy and what the play of shadow upon the petals was saying about the working conditions during the industrial revolution. This isn't going to leave me a lot of time to do other traditional student activities – namely going to parties and getting drunk (5).

Anyway the point is that with all the free time I now haven't got I've still decided to do the challenge because of the aforementioned fun and tradition but the big difference this time around is that it's going to be comprised solely of Bands and their Albums.

There you go, that's the list of bands and to the best of my knowledge they don't exist except on my blog (6).
I don't know exactly what genre's they'll all be although I'd be surprised if Satans Arrow is anything less than very heavy metal.

| NOTES:
  1. A phrasing, incidentally, that accurately sums up my first girlfriend.
  2. We can all be thankful that I'm not taking Latin.
  3. You can skip this next bit it's just me polishing my ego.
  4. But that last one almost never happens
  5. I kid. Art students don't have time for any of that. Not when we're all sitting around drinking tiny espressos and worrying about the price of berets.
  6. But if they do then they can have a free album cover. Woo!

  1. The A to Z is so hard! lol I skipped out last year because I just didn't have the time for it.
    But, I guess I'll do it this year since I scrapped my old blog and started a new one (that is ultra boring unless you are learning English *sigh*)
    I'm glad you're doing it on bands though! It means I'll have a lot of cool new (to me) bands to check out. lol

    (The hard part is visiting all the blogs!!!!!!!!!!!x infinity!!!)

  3. Hello. Just thought I would stop by and give you a wave *wave* because your blog is below mine on the A to Z list.

    1. Sounds perfectly plausible to me. I'll get the surfboard out.
