Hey everyone, it’s Evan! I’m back! My laptop has a new keyboard and I’ve been itching to return to blogging every day. There was a scary moment this morning when I turned on my computer and the keyboard didn’t work, but I reset the machine and everything worked again. I was quite nervous.
Did you miss me? Yeah, shut up, you missed me. I want to send a quick thank you to Katie (kT), Bennett, Z, Reader X and Marika for their gracious contributions to Swan Fungus during my absence. Their terse, anodyne prose was truly a welcome change from my acerbic, in-your-face style. I enjoyed it, and I am eternally grateful that they stepped up and offered to help during my time of strife. As for the rest of you…
Here’s a celebratory mix tape. Welcome back, Evan! Have a beer! Oh, a Hair Of The Dog Blue Dot IPA? Sure, why not! Thanks, world! I’m back kids, here’s some treats from my underground music bag!
(Note, I don’t actually own an underground music bag. But boy, if I did…)
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. Tonight’s mix tape will blow your fucking mind out your ass until it ejaculates all over your monitor. Period. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
