Blogwarming Gift

If you dig his stuff, I’d recommend that you bookmark his blog section or subscribe to his site’s RSS feed as updates are frequent.

I’m hoping to hear more from him in the future, and not just to pad out repeat programs of interviews with Norman Jewison (which I’ve now heard three times) and that goddamned 50 Tracks gameshow.
