Howdy!

   So after much thought, and coaxing... I have started a new blog, devoted to all things musical. First and foremost, I'll post links to my podcast "Audio Arcana," which is a semi-free form audio podcast with guests bringing on and talking about some of their favorite records. Underneath each streaming episode, will be a download link, as well as the playlist. I'll also use this blog to post old mixtapes, other podcasts I've done, musical oddities and interesting records I've picked up, music related articles, pictures, music videos and other forms of audio arcana as they come my way.

   The picture to the left,  was taken around 7 years ago of my collection while living in Florida. I left behind nearly all my records when I moved from Los Angeles. My wife's LP's became ours, and those three shelves of 78's are what I amassed more or less within a 2-3 period. We've come a looooong way since this photo was taken... but it's nice to look back and reminisce about humble beginnings in collectordom. Within a few weeks I'll try to dig out some mixtapes and CD's made during this period to give all of you an idea what sort of stuff I got into back then. ENJOY!
