About If you've followed this site from the start it has changed quite substantially over the last four or five years. I originally planned it as a response to the Focus on the Family site, where albums are reviewed on a moral basis, which I thought was just plain dumb as there's no point buying records just because they're not offensive. I therefore graded them on quality and how offensive they were. They I realized the latter was kind of dumb, and I was spending way more time on the former, so The Fyfeopedia evolved into a straight review site, as it is now. In the past I've tended to review anything that I could get my hands on, but I've recently cut out a lot of artists on the site that I don't think deserve serious attention. I'm also concentrating on the artist pages, and I've now segregated them in the directory, and most of my recent work has been trying to expand these as much as I can, as well as expanding artists already started on to their own pages. I'm currently working through Neil Young, David Bowie and Fairport Convention, and I'm also planning to elevate artists who've been covered very briefly, like Stevie Wonder, Richard Thompson and Beck, to full page status. I feel like I have heaps of awesome stuff around to cover at the moment, and I'm struggling for the time to cover it all. Having said that, I think this site will be more about width than depth and I'm still not ever going to have huge completed discographies, although once I start a band's page I'll try to cover their major albums. I'm also really slack about stuff like proof-reading; while I try to be kind of professional, this is just a part time hobby and the most important thing as far as I'm concerned is for me to post my opinions of albums I've listened to. If I was writing in a print publication, I'd put more effort into accuracy and into using more interesting writing techniques. Also, if you're interested, The Fyfeopedia was a nickname that my friend Aaron gave me, because of my ability to sound knowledgeable about almost any mainstream band since the sixties. Unfortunately it sounds pretentious on the internet; it's one thing being knowledgeable in the context of your bible study group, but it's another matter in the context of dedicated specialist music fans who are defending their pet band.
