The Year in Retrospect

I cant believe that its been almost a year since i posted anything. Its been a whirlwind of worries, apathy, sprinkled with little financial hardship. The good thing is that i was able to get through it with the help of the people love, those who for some reason still like my company despite being poor and irritable.

I have a few things in store for this site(music mostly), and a related project in the works. In the next couple of days i'll have some tracks that i myself have been looking for for years, and was pretty much the catalyst for me making a site like this, as well as some recent music from a few games that have successfully sucked me in throughout this year.

Drop me an email for any requests, or if you enjoyed anything found on this site.

Internet radio, is one the best things the internet has to offer(besides porn :P). It has been a huge catalyst for me to explore and discover like tasted people, bands, and artists that i never would have been exposed to in the "real world". It has also been a great alternative to corporate radion. My musical sphere has been thoroughly shaped by net radio, and now this wonderful, little known reasource, is in danger of disappearing.

Appearantly some of the largest internet radio broadcasters now have to pay larger royalties per song to the music industry; despite the fact that they already pay, in many cases up to 12 times the amount that "terrestrial" radio pays. Internet radio as we know it will most likely cease to exist, since it will cost radio broadcasters to much to continue broadcasting.

This will also affect smaller broadcasters even more, since the original plan to base the amount of royalies paid on the amount of income earned was thrown out. Most of these smaller broadcaster function on donations almost entirely to pay for their bandwidth costs.

Please do want you can to help the cause out, at least by telling people about what is going on.
