The mix shop closes for ’09; will reopen in 2010
So Jamie’s been doing his whole “Off My Radar” thing, and while I’d love to contribute, I don’t really want to step on his toes, you know? It’s a neat feature and unique to him, so I’ll let him stick with that little Ed. Note and go along on my own way. In this post… Continue reading The mix shop closes for ’09; will reopen in 2010

We all love fake wind, fake driving and confetti, don’t we? With oversized tiger heads? And ferns? Good, I’m glad we’re all on the same page.

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Should I think outside the box and say hey, maybe you missed Knox Road this week because of something other than the holidays? Like watching all the TV shows you’ve missed or want to catch up on?? (Includes me and definitely Frank from Chromewaves – read his tweets about Lost.) Eh, holidays are most likely… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
[MP3] Green Pitch: “A Letter of Stone”
Supposedly, Danish band Green Pitch released its most recent album, La Jolla, in April 2009. And I haven’t heard of them until today? What’s up with that, am I right?
