Once Upon a Time, Before The Hype Machine

posted Tuesday, 24 October 2006
    I'm going to tell you a little story. Once upon a time there was a little blog called Lost In Your Inbox. It was a humble blog, started by someone who really didn't know what she was doing. In fact, at first she didn't even know how to make interactive links. Hosting an mp3 file? What was that? But she learned, and soon she was linking and became a subscriber to ezarchive, and things were going well.
     Well, they were going well for her and all two of her faithful readers. You see, she had not yet heard of the magical land known as The Hype Machine, and therefore not very many folks knew about her blog. Once she learned all about it, she ventured into it and wondered, could there be a place for MY little blog in this wonderful kingdom?
    Lo and behold, the mighty Hype Machine king said, yes, enter and become a part of all that is The Hype Machine. And it so pleased the blogstress that she began posting more and more music, simply to share her joy.
    However--you knew there was SOMEthing coming, right?--she realized that although she had posted much music before joining the kingdom of The Hype Machine, it was possible that some readers had not seen it. There was some of said music that she would like others to know about and come to love, just as she had. And since so many more faithful readers were now visiting her in blogland, she decided to repost some of those songs in the hopes of making her new readers happy, too.
    So here are a few gems from the past that she hopes will please you as much as they please her.
    The end.

Think About Life--"Paul Cries" mp3 off Think About Life (buy) (original post)

Hey, MJRC. You're rockin' with this set. Particularly liked The Robot Explosion. More Chick Music, but in a good way... :) The Death Cab take-off is sweet, too. Keep 'em coming!

Is it weird writing in third person?

thanks, wre. i like that death cab mash up myself, and i'm not a big madonna fan.

the whole third person thing was a "literary" technique--my weak attempt at humor and originality! : )

I thought this was a lovely story...And what wonderful tracks thanks for posting them again for those of us who were unaware of the "Inbox" goodness. :)

Just for the record though I didn't find you through Hype but you already knew that.
