Hello…how are you? Well, it’s been quite a long time. Perhaps there are two or three of you out there who still may read this. It’s been a landmark year for me in terms of the gigs I managed to see. M...
The Impossibility of Smiths Covers: Hand in Glove Tribute and First CTRR Giveaway 21 Sep 2010 | 04:15 pm
This post has a back story. And a reason for me to come out of the hiatus once again. I was quite surprisingly contacted by 24 Hour Service Station, a Florida-based record label that released a double...
A Snag in the Social Fabric: The Young Hegelians 27 Aug 2010 | 04:16 pm
I’m breaking hiatus once again. And once more, it’s for a band I believe in, albeit a fledgling band that deserves support. Like one of my previously loved bands, the sadly now defunct Stroszek, this ...

Some of you loyal readers may have noticed both my rather spotty posting record last year and my two month absence this year before finally revealing the Day of 200 Songs. I apologize, something I’ve ...
The Day of 200 Songs 15 Feb 2010 | 01:48 pm
It’s finally here. The Day of 200 Songs held in honour of my 200th post, which happened way back in April of last year. A brief recap for those who don’t know the whole story: to celebrate my 200th po...
The 00s, The Noughties, The Decade In Music 2 Jan 2010 | 01:11 pm
I didn’t really want to attempt a list of my favourite albums of the decade – the list for this year alone was more work than I needed. Instead, I decided to hit some of the ways this decade dealt wit...
2009 Wrap Up and New Year’s Eve Mix 1 Jan 2010 | 01:08 pm
So, it’s the end of year two on CTRR. It’s been a surreal one, and for this blog, a sporadic one. I realize that I sort of fell behind on my blogging because of my new job, and I feel quite guilty abo...
