just saw your comment on my blog and wanted to pop over to your world and say hello and thank you so much for your kind words. i am glad you are enjoying my music – magnatune is a wonderful place to find new things!

i enjoyed this post too btw – i’ve been hearing about the newspapers and their struggles lately – it’s great to see it broken down so clearly…

kudos to you too for going back to school! i’ve been doing the same myself, and i know what it entails, so my hat’s off to you – best of luck with your studies and explorations.

warm wishes,

Let me also recommend following Jayrosen_nyu on Twitter in addition to his blogging.

Looking forward to the next in your series. All the best,
