The end has come

For those of you wondering for roughly a year what happened with the blog, I moved my base of operations over to Tumblr in the spring (this spring, mind you) and posted playlists and such over there. I managed to get a good deal of interviews for the show, like Driftless Pony Club and Julia Nunes, among others.
Anyways, as I've matriculated, that means the show has come to an end. But that doesn't mean that it's over over. It just means that I might hop back on the airwaves when I'm back up near WHRW. In the meantime, this blog (and the Tumblr) will be like an old box gathering dust. No one will even notice it. But they might. You never know. ;)
