commentary

I've decided to not publish my own commentary anymore and have deleted everything that I wrote (excluding the track listings) on the posts. I think the music speaks for itself (and plus, it was all that much more time consuming!). I'm still posting commentary HERE. I guess that I want to unclutter the blog a little, that's all.

I encourage any and all listeners to seek out and support the artists, it keeps them doing what we love.

Turn on, tune in, sleep...
