Anticipation

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Please allow me to present several things that I am quite looking forward to.

First up is the new album from Danny Michel. This should come as no surprise to anyone who reads this blog at all regularly–I hardly hide the fact that I’m pretty much a fanboy for Danny’s stuff. However, reading some of Danny’s [...]
