I Suppose I Owe You All An Explanation...

No doubt you all have noticed my relative lack of blogging and just BZP in general (Except for the NMQ&A for some reason... *shrug*). Well, I'm not going to make any excuses, just give the cold, hard facts.
There are a number of reasons I've been ignoring BZP for the most part lately. First and foremost would be work. As I've mentioned in the past I'm sure I had been getting a lot more hours than usual. And now that I've just recently received a promotion, that pretty much locks the near-full time hours in place. And so, after working a long day at work, when I come home I feel like doing something that has a little more ... immediate satisfaction than waiting three days for a reply. This is the reason I've been playing video games more and working on BZP projects less not at all.
Secondly, I guess I just don't feel like working on Bionicle related stuff much when I'm getting bored with Bionicle itself. Yeah, I know a matter of months ago I'd slap myself in the face for saying something like that, but there's just not much interesting going on to keep my interest. Books aren't coming out as often and the web serials, while I do read and enjoy them all, they just aren't enough. As a matter of fact, the only one that I really get excited for is Reign of Darkness. I guess I just miss the old Matoran Universe part of Bionicle too much. So far, Bara Magna doesn't impress.
Now, on the next issue of my various projects. First off, the caption contest has been good to me since the beginning. Had some chuckles and even a few good hearty laughs along the way. Unfortunately though, the contest is becoming more and more of just a weekly chore, trying to come up with a picture, pick a winner, and get an entry up on schedule. Therefore, after I pick the winner of the last edition (when I have time/feel like it) I will do one more picture to end the contest.
Toast Busters. No, I don't intend to discontinue that, so don't freak out. That comedy as been too good to me the past year-and-a-half (?). However, more and moreso lately I've been leaning towards more serious writings and seeing how people like those. So far, compared to the numerous comedies I've written, I've only got one short story lost to the server crash (though I always save a copy) and a discontinued epic. Therefore, when I pick up the writing again, any increase in Toast Busters chapters will be minor for I will be mostly working on finishing writing my epic and getting it ready to post.
So that's pretty much all there is to say on the matter of my disappearance. But hey, we all need a break sometime.
Now, the final issue at hand. During the past couple weeks while planning this entry out in my head I intended to ask you guys what you would think of me getting a blog theme including, omg, changing the name of it. But now that this blog theme contest is upon us, I'm going to grab at the chance. It'll be the first contest I ever entered on BZPower. While I personally think there could have been a lot more desirable options for a theme than music, I'm going to give it a shot. It's actually funny that I feel that way since I love music so much.
So, anyone have any suggestions? I'm definitely not doing Jonas Brothers as they obviously don't have a very big fanbase here. 
I'll bet a lot of people do either The Beatles, Linkin Park, or something like that.
The question is, do I want to go by artist, genre, or some other categorization?
