I'm back and things are back to normal (more or less--now I have no sound on the computer but I can work around that for the time being). Thanks to my husband for fixing things.
I've not got much to report, except that my inbox is over-freaking-flowing with new music that I'm simply never going to get to. I feel really bad about that, folks, but it's a fact of life. I've got two kids' birthdays coming up (one is in two days) and I'm not prepared for them at all. Why I do this every year, I don't know. I mean, it's not like I don't know they're coming! I am the world's biggest procrastinator, though, so that may be one reason.
I do have one exciting bit of news to share. Beat Radio, one of my favorite bands, is offering their new album Safe Inside the Sound for free download at their blog and I can highly recommend it. They've gone through a bit of a transformation, changed some band members, but their sound is as tight and wonderfully thoughtful as ever, with some new electronic touches that add an extra layer to their dreamy/semi-shoegazey goodness. Lead singer/songwriter Brian Sendrowitz puts his entire heart and soul into these songs and his deepest desire is have folks hear the music, so head on over and treat yourself.

Welcome back! I am glad you got the computer up and running, I had no sound
for a couple of days as well and it drove me insane. Hope you guys can get
it working soon.
