How strange to find myself writing a blog about a blog but here we are.
For those of you who don't already know, we have another blog external to myspace which you can view here!
It's a great way to catch up with all the exciting news that happens around the hubbub of activity, the highway of excitement or, if you prefer, the network of shenanigans that is the independent music distribution scene!
