About six months ago, I strayed from the path of writing this blog. I weaned myself off quite quickly, and within... oh say... an hour, I was finished and felt alright about my decision.

I had built a nice team of 20 or so writers. Then we all departed ways at the end of the academic year. We had all planned to continue, but it proved so difficult, and I wanted to simply just lie in the sun, pretending I didn't exist. Whe time came to head back to the campus we werent heading the same way. Last year, most of us were going to UNC-Greensboro. Naveed, who held a short position as co-editor, ended up at Chapel Hill; many "withdrew;" some are now on the missing persons list; and I transferred over to Guilford College, a little bity private Quaker school. It is certainly more my style - more challenging and definitely more community oriented.

Happy and now pretty well adjusted, I find myself a bit bored late at night (insomnia). I thought maybe I should give blogging another shot, eh, theres only about 8 million music blogs now anyway, so why not join em'?

Here I am. Here we go.

This go-round I plan to be a bit more personal, I plan to more flexible about what I write.
Tomorrow I will have my first real post, but for now, heres to many more, enjoy these mp3's I dug up around the net for your pleasure. (Expect MANY more mp3's with each post.)
