I wrote my first blog post in months this morning, about my girlfriend Linda passing away back in June. It at least explains what I've been doing for the past few months. Hope you are well. I'm still around, just functioning at a much-lower energy level. Take care of yourself!<br />TADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853931230081777310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-26373012923000428842023-07-05T14:50:33.480-04:002023-07-05T14:50:33.480-04:00Sadly, the link to the track is no longer function...Sadly, the link to the track is no longer functional.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-41175965370187454192022-11-24T13:04:35.170-05:002022-11-24T13:04:35.170-05:00Goood blog postGoood blog postStucco Contractors Lynchburghttps://www.plastering-stucco.com/us/plastering-contractor-virginia/stucco-contractors-lynchburg.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-86598414276030880802022-05-07T20:22:20.141-04:002022-05-07T20:22:20.141-04:00Interesting readdInteresting readdStacyhttps://www.stacywarner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-43335600758226308102022-04-01T11:53:53.400-04:002022-04-01T11:53:53.400-04:00"Surf's Up" is in places a brilliant..."Surf's Up" is in places a brilliant album and you really *should* hear it.

I am Officially Retired now and trying to write more in my free time. I've posted a few things on my old blog since October, but the romance of it hasn't really come back.

Pretty sick of the petty, stupid BS and negativity at Facebook. It never ends, over there.<br />Hope you are well.

I'd forgotten about the Fitch...Wow, a visitor. I'd forgotten about the Fitch piece. Looking back, it rambles a lot, don''t it? But anyhow, I never had <i>Manned Drones</i>. As I say in the post. I came across the piece at the end of that SY live thing. Then, when I looked around for provenance, so I could credit it properly for the post, since I was calling it "In Hell" rather than "Untitled Music," I found out about the <i>Drones</i> album, without actually acquiring it. Not ever sure where that had been.<br /><br />So the only Fitch track I've ever heard is the one on <i>Continental Club</i>. Without looking, I think that CD should be readily available, but if not let me know here, and I'll post the Fitch track back to my site.<br /><br />I did become aware of <i>A Texas Trip</i>, which also has a single Fitch track https://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Texas-Trip/release/596659, but I never picked that up either. <br /><br />As an aside, I'll say that around the time I wrote the blogpost, I went to Last.fm or discogs, and edited the extremely brief bio of Fitch there, saying something like, best known for these two tracks. And I got an email from Fitch, protesting! He was eager to separate himself from the scuzzy rock and rollers on the albums I've talked about. And I didn't argue, you know, I want to be respectful to the artist, but at the same time I was thinking to myself, <i>You don't get to say what work you're best known for</i> You get to say anything else, dispute everything else, but not that. Looking at Discogs now, it says 7 submissions pending; I'd imagine this is because Fitch has continued not wanting to be talked about.<br /><br />Which is why I suppose you can't find <i>Manned Drones</i>. If you ever find it let me know. I'd definitely be interested in hearing it.<br /><br />Sorry for the rambling reply--you can see I can't help myself.rastronomicalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475251545087211066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-26057378495883054182020-06-15T20:08:56.749-04:002020-06-15T20:08:56.749-04:00in 2010 you posted about manned drones by steve fi...in 2010 you posted about manned drones by steve fitch. do you still have the album, and if so, can you rip it? me and some other people on the internet have been trying to find a way to listen to it. please give me your email so i can contact you: )noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678680630672675977.post-79471836052905209962018-03-03T14:01:00.718-05:002018-03-03T14:01:00.718-05:00Wow, welcome back!
