After 2 and a bit years, we’ve decided to move Unreality Music to a new location – our new community site, Unreality Shout.

I’ll be running the site as Community Manager for want of a more high-fallutin’ title. Maybe I’ll think one up eventually. In the meantime, let me tell you a little bit about Shout and invite you to join the community:

• Great for music fans – create a fan group for your favourite band or singer and invite other fans to join and chat.
• Start your own blog – you can write about anything entertainment related: music, movies, TV shows, books and more.
• Contribute to wiki pages – are you the ultimate authority on a band, an actor or a TV show? Share your knowledge by contributing to wiki pages on your favourite subjects!
• Buddy up – you can invite your friends to join in the fun and build a network of friends and obsessives on Shout!
• Share pictures – got any pictures from gigs you’ve been to recently? You can upload them and share them with the world!
• Earn points for contributing – each contribution to the site earns you Shout Points which earn you a placement on the list of most active members!

As for me, I’m excited about growing the new community. I’ve been blogging for easily 4-5 years now, and Unreality Shout is our way of giving fans and bloggers a platform where they can share their opinions about their favourite subjects.

Anyway, I hope you’ll join me over on Unreality Shout – and if you need any help getting started, we have a help forum where you can ask for assistance!

For RSS subscribers, stay tuned – the feed will automatically start showing new music posts from Unreality Shout in a day or so.

I’ve got a lot to thank Bon Jovi for. Back in the day (that’s 1988, kiddies), they were my earliest introduction to the wonderful world of Hair Metal. It’s been quite a ride, and the ‘Jovi sound has mellowed in the intervening years.
