Last summer I had lofty goals of not letting this happen…but alas…it happened. Then it got to be so long between posts I felt like I had to post something spectacular if I was going to post something…Like some grand re-entrance. Well eff that, I’ll just post a quick blurb of what’s up.
Basically for the past year and half I’ve been going through some significant life changes…divorce…yadda yadda…who really cares. The point is this site became a reminder of that “old life”. I’m sure anyone who’s been through a divorce or major breakup can understand that. So where does that leave us. Well….I’ve got big plans for this site…and if I follow through on at least a third of them I think you folks will glean hopefully a little enjoyment. Expect a mild redesign of the site, a slight shift in focus, details will come. I also still owe everyone a massive sampler to make up for Summer-Fall-Winter….Been listening to plenty of great music so that shouldn’t be an issue.
To conclude this supposedly short blurb, I give y’all my apology…OB Dan pronounced the site dead a couple days ago! ha!…Over 2 months between posts in internet time is like an eternity, so who can blame him? Thank those who have continued to check the site and thanks to all who have left comments.
Don’t forget to follow on facebook, twitter, and youtube. I will leave you all with this, an example of what I’ve been up to

I feel like Gene Wilder in Mel Brooks Frankenstein movie…he was discouraged and anticipating continued failure until, suddenly, there was a twitch, a movement…
“It is alive!”
Shame about the bad shit in your life…been there, done that (literally)…mourn what has passed but keep living.

Megaupload appears to be gone for good, and FileSonic shut down on their own. A lot of HotFile uploads are gone, FilePost reminds me of the dial-up days, and some days MediaFire and Rapidshare are dragging.
Not a very encouraging situation, is it…?

luckily I only use Mediafire of those listed, and I have the fallback plan of the Through The Whiskey Glass hosting service that I doubt will ever get shut down unless Romeo Sid Vicious shuts it down himself.
Strange times indeed, and I fear the time of the MP3 blog is coming to an end which is one of the reasons why I’m moving forward
