On September 13, Richard Hamilton passed away.

Today, I have thoughts and feelings similar to those that I imagine most Americans feel on this particular date each year; but there was an element of shock added this morning, as it has been a full decade since the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Whatever happened to rebellious, edgy and utterly fabulous girl rock? All my single ladies haven't had a legitimately rocking movement since those Riot Grrrls took the Pacific Northwest by storm in the early 1990s.

Hiya, readers! It's been entirely too long, and for that I profusely apologize. I've had a busy, dynamic, stressful and mostly wonderful year so far. I hope that you all can say the same (minus the stress part, of course), and that you're as ready as I am to get back down to this business of music news.

I've always been envious of friends who vividly and imaginatively dream. They play parts in their favorite movies, climb up rainbows, talk to animals, travel the world... you know the drill.
