Can't survive a day without music.

Living in Los Angeles, it's part of everyday life. This is mine.

Kent - If You Were Here
from the 1997 album Isola

Swedish alternative act Kent never really made it big outside of their homeland, which to this day remain successful there. The band has a minor hit on the US charts, an english version of their tune Om du var här.

welcome to blogging away in LA on tumblr

Formally hosted on blogspot, this blog begins with two topics: Los Angeles + music, how they have affect each other, and how they both have effected me.

The majority of my posts here will be based on music; established artists and well-known songs, and new bands who you really need to here because they are cool, daddy-o!

This blog will updated more frequently than it’s predecessor; I will attempt to post at least daily (taking advantage of tumblr’s daily hosting), multiple times if I can find a new, free, file host, or if the songs are already hosted. Case-in-point: In four years I achieved only one hundred posts. Unacceptable.

I also have two tumblr blogs I fiddle around with on an ongoing basis: captaincook, my personal anything-goes blog, and comic books! my comic book -related blog.

Because I am a fucking nerd.

I hope you enjoy this, as I have a feeling I will enjoy doing this a lot ;)

Los Angeles music

blogging away in LA moves to Tumblr

So it’s come to this.

I’ve been posting more music over at my tumblr blog than right here. I’m sorry, but aside from reading friends blogspot’s I spend more time on tumblr.

Not to say tumblr is perfect, but I do get a more ‘community’ feel out of using it. You can ‘like’ and reblog other posts, and follow people, and they can openly follow you! The major downside? It gets slow and the downtimes are constant. But when it works, it looks cool.

By the way, I am no longer listed in The Hype Machine, which is with merit as I haven’t updated this blog in a long time now, mainly due to several factors which I would not like to get into right now.

To the bands, groups and management who reached out —thank you and I promise to get back to you all on the new blogawayLA.com —though until the process is complete it’s called:

http://blogawayla.tumblr.com

Thank you and thanks to blogger.com for four very awesome years together. I’ll post one last time here when the switch is official…
