I don’t think I can sum up my Valentine’s Day in a few words. I’m just glad I was able to spend the time with someone who I connect with. Whether it was eating crepes on 4th street in San Rafael, a massive pillow fight in San Francisco, or cuddled up on the futon watching Moon (which was brilliant); I can safely say I like where I am right now. Here’s to another day appreciating the company of another…

Today I am spending time with family out here in Boston. So I would say I am thankful for that. Also I am thankful for you. Yes, you! You people that have been reading my blog since August (or November of last year for those very few of you) and download and listen to whatever it is that I am currently loving. Apparently you trust my opinion and you keep coming back for more (according to my stats). I started this blog to basically share my taste with fello music lovers and maybe help a few struggling artists get some ears pointed in their direction. I never try to post anything to gain an audience, I just post what I like and hope those of you like it too. I’m also thankful for all the artists that have answered the Kuestionnaire. They never had to, it was all their choice and I’m happy with the outcome so far.
So here’s to you and your families. Have a safe holiday!

I kind of laugh to myself when people ask me, “Hey what are you doing this Columbus Day weekend?” When I say I have to work, they usually give me that look like I just dented my car. “Oooo, bummer dude.” It’s no big deal when it comes down to it. Weekends lose their meaning when you have a schedule like mine. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m not even sure how to ‘observe’ Columbus Day. Well there’s always Indigenous Peoples Day. Hooray oppression!
