So, at the end of last year the staff at WRVU wanted all the DJs at the station to put together their lists of the best albums of the year and of the decade. They compiled all of the lists to make a composite-WRVU list. Well, maybe 10 percent of the albums I listed made the composite list, so I figure I should post my lists for those who yearn for something more than an indie-flavor-of-the-week list.

The Blog Is Alive!!!
Yeah, so I'm resurrecting the blog after criminally neglecting it for four months. The lack of updates stemmed from the combination of getting raped by school and forgetting the password that allowed me to log into blogspot. Now that both situations have been remedied, I can devote the time and attention that this blog deserves.
So, to get everyone caught up to speed, The Visible Spectrum is alive and well, now playing at the 2 to 3 pm time slot on Sundays. If you can't catch the show live, you can always listen to the audio archive provided by wrvu.org. Just click the link in the right hand column on this page.
Also, I'm gonna start up the vodka infusions part of the blog. Stay tuned, updates are just around the corner.
