Moving...

Roughly, the blog is moving to http://www.marginalboy.com/blog/ where it shall be a part of a mashup which combines all the blogs I've been writing over the years. Which, truth be told, isn't that many, but...I'm also playing with WP management :-)

Also, through the glories of Facebook, I learned that my cousin's husband did the art for it. This is something I find most exceedingly cool, and I have told her that. *sigh* Did anyone forget The National is my favorite band? If so, then it is for your shame...

SO! It's been nearly a year since I vowed to update this thing more frequently. Oops. Well, just in case we haven't been purged from one of the 6 previous readers' newsfeeds, I'll just say I'll endeavor in this new year to do better. God knows I'll have time on my hands, since I don't yet speak Arabic. Anyway, here's an interesting band with a wholesome sound. Surprisingly decent for a band making their name on BandCamp...

I give you, The Secret 6, courtesy of this snifty embedded player:
