I dug through the vault, and found some good pics of folks. I hope everyone finds them to be ones they haven't seen. I also added some more music. Thanks to all my friends on the tree. It's been amazing to touch base with you all again.
About, waning interest in the MFT site. No worries... I believe this is an ebb and flow kind of thing. I just found/posted the site starting last month, but some folks have been doing this quite awhile. I'd be scared if these folks spent all there time looking b…

MFT 2.0 or is that 3.0 has been under daily development for the last few weeks. After a couple false starts the last year or so we have been able to consistently free up one of our developers at Small Box, Jordan Wilson, who is also a great designer and flash developer. A triple threat he is! We are working from the Kevin Fitzpatrick designs for the overall look and feel of the site.
I expect to launch the site by the end of the summer. I want to get it rock solid before going live if possible.…

I was briefly part of the South Bend scene (89-92ish) and know some of these bands. In pa…

Hey guys sorry I am late this week. Work has been kinda crazy and I haven't gotten around to reviewing the batch of tracks that I received from the drummer of Abner Trio, Karl Hofstetter . These tracks are the unmastered versions of the songs that will be included on their next LP entitled "The Giant Crushes You". And I have to say, they sound really good for just being unmastered.
I was intr…

I received Heavy Hometown's new CD entitled "Action Figures" from Jeb today. He told me. "New Band of the Week.... Give it a listen." So I took the CD and popped it into my computer for a listen.
"Action Figures" starts off with a melancholic track called "We Ate The Bug." The song is pretty slow and the vocals are pret…

I've heard about this site for quite awhile, but hadn't had a chance to really check it out. When I finally sat down and wandered around the site, I was amazed. This is truly a great site and I look forward to re-connecting with y'all. So, just a note to say I will dig through my stuff and post as much as I can. I have a ton of stuff that I haven't seen posted here yet, so please keep checking back or hook up an RSS feed.
