LOL, thanks, I think?

I just subscribed to your blog too. Thanks for the compliments! I need to get back on the horse in terms of doing entries. I thought once I quit my job I’d be reviewing more than when I was at work, but it hasn’t worked out that way. I have plenty of other stuff to do, including looking for jobs.

I have been a silent fan of this blog for a few months. I created a mix from some of the songs and albums you mentioned that I will commit to minidisc sometime in the near future. So yeah, I enjoy what you do here.

I run a similar blog. I’m reviewing all my music as well as my video games, comic books, and other nerdy crap I own. Our musical tastes do have a small overlap, so there’s that.

Mainly I just wanted to say that I enjoy your blog because it makes me feel less crazy for having mine.
