Here’s the stuff I dug in 2007. I know it’s 6 weeks into the new year but work suckage = no writing.

Lots of links and songs to download. Enjoy.

When I’m searching my regular music blogs I’ll often click on someone’s list of links (blogroll) to see if there’s a cool music site I’m missing out on.  Sometimes I am sometimes I’m not, but I found a couple of non-music blogs that are really cool.

I’m probably a late comer to the first one, Post Secret, because the site’s had 100 million hits and the concept has branched out into audio and video. 

What the blog does is take homemade post cards on which people have written a secret that hasn’t been told to anyone before.  As a result, most of the stuff is a downer (the nature of secrets), but are very interesting.  I’m sure some fakers get through.  I get far more out of the one sentence post cards than I could out of rubbernecking at a reality show.  Check it weekly, they don’t seem to keep an archive.

A little more trite, but no less fun is Overheard Everywhere.  The title may be a little self explanatory but folks send in stuff they overhear while they’re out l-i-v-i-n’. 

A fat music post coming soon.

I’ve mentioned a time or two here that I’m in a swank music club at work and I liked my mix so much this month I thought I’d post it here in a nice tidy zip file. 

Here’s the song list, and below are the comments I wrote for it, probably the only substantial thing I’ve written in about 2 months.

Enjoy.
