The first installment of the Music Alliance Pact was a good introduction to a collective feature that's continuing to grow as a beacon of solidarity in the music blog community.

MAP's [...]

Another new thing here??? I often feel that I start columns, - keep them up for a few weeks, and then realize that I haven't got the capacity to keep them updated, - so I just leave them. I hope I will manage to keep this column updated... This is made mainly because my time is limited and the days are too few to tell you about all the good things that my ears experience during one single week. HERE are some good things that has passed my ears and eyes the last few weeks: [...]
Just a short post to tell you that my Norwegian favourites MY LITTLE PONY will finally release their debut album today.
