Started up a blog separate from myspace account. You can view here:

Energy Flash

I mainly created this blog to give me an outlet for writing about music that I had been doing for the past 10 years or so with Resonance Magazine, which incidentally closed its print doors this past December. This is both good and bad. Bad that I no longer had an established publication for writing but now forces me to look at alernative ways to voice my thoughts and hopefully without the tethering to specific content I will be free to write about what ever inspires me, whenever I want. Not bad, but will also mean that I have to stay with it to make it work.

I just got the first post up with a mix that I hope you will listen to and enjoy. This is a direct link on the blog post so no messing with those painful upload sites with their soft core porn links to entice you.


Anyway please check it and hit me up with any comments. Peace,

kuri
