Summer and Fall Gone POOF but music lives on

Well, blogging has taken a back seat to school.  Not sure how these cats with niche blogs on college do it but I got to give it to them.


Some new music gadgets I've added to my repertoire since summertime

• Pandora.  Okay so I've been using Pandora longer than that (think way before commercials on your favorite stations & beyond).  But since they have integrated their wonderful, marvelous product into social media.... BAM... my poor fellow FaceBookers have had no reprieve.
• For example, I've been on a HUGE Cat Stevens kick and have to restrain myself from sharing every song from his Tea for the Tillerman album.  Okay so a few sneaked through :)
• Grooveshark.  Uhm, another I can't remember when I started using but this one was at least in '09.  I started using for Opinionated Ant when I wanted to add some audio excitement to a post.  Think Bowie's Changes it a little widget every time I announce a new feature.  Ch-ch-ch-changes.

In other musical news I'm waiting anxiously for my first mandolin.  Don't ask me what it is called, it is a cheapo from Ebay and the name is most likely a mock company for an import.  Yes, I've been educated by mandolin experts.  Perhaps, I'll post some pictures here... depends on how bad it looks when I get it.  No need to go out of my way to embarrass myself :).

Hello Humanoids!
My translator (a 'normal' human) has given me another blog to express my immense knowledge to the masses. The subject of... the subject of... Human, I forgot my lines.
"The subject of music is close to my soul."
Right, music. Allow me to introduce my humanoid translator and general slave. If you see some typing in "quotations if you were wondering like me" that will be my translator. Don't expect any knowledge or much input from them, however, since they should be working on my main blog. Like right now. Right Now!
Come back soon, we'll talk about new artists, old artists, good songs, bad songs and guest appearances by BeBe our concert queen!
See you soon.
