Hey guys. You may have noticed that over the past few months, my posts per day have gone up. Instead of just posting about one song or a new band per day, I have expanded it to every bit of news or music that I can get my hands on. There’s so much going on in the music industry these days. If I’m not keeping you guys up to date, well, then I’m not doing my job.
So I decided to add a new feature called “Weekly Roundup” which will appear each Sunday. It’ll be a summary of sorts of all the stuff that I posted from the week. I know you are all busy people, and that it’s hard to keep up with all the posts in a given week or even day. So this feature will be a way for you guys to find everything that I posted that is worth your time. Maybe you missed something, or maybe you just want to find something to read. Whatever it is, I put it all in one convinient place for you.
