Now, what was I saying?

Okay, I'm back.

Yeah, I know it's been a while.

One of my new year's resolutions is to blog more.

I have a few things to post but not much time to do so atm so this is just a re-introduction of the author of this little ol' patch of heaven on blogger.com

The music goes round and round...

So, I like music...a lot! Mostly indie and alternative, jazz and blues, rock, Broadway and classical with stops in a few other genres for added flavor.

I am posting this only because I found a hella cool pic to use with it. It's a redesign of an antique Victrola as if reimagined by Apple...and because I was looking over a list of my upcoming music selections from yourmusic.com. I realized my tastes in music are rather eclectic. Would you not concur?

If you haven't checked out yourmusic.com, you really should. Each month you get one cd for $6.99 picked from a list of thousands. It's not a music club, so you don't have to buy a specific number of titles (12 for $1.59) and then promise to buy more at regular price in the next however long. Most all titles are $6.99, plus s/h. Some titles (cd/dvd or double cd) are more, but they are usually cheaper than amazon.com.

So, what do you conclude from perusing my wish queue?
