Readers (If there are any these days),I started this blog my freshman year of college at the University of Washington. It gave me a outlet to vent and something to ground myself in while I was stumbling and fumbling around finding my way out west. Almost three years have passed since the inception, and I’ve come a long way. I’ve been busy in other realms, and I have not generated any content over the last year which is kind of pathetic.
Anyways, I write this post as a notice: If you want to grab any mp3s or content from this blog please do so in the next two or three days. I will be shutting it down, pulling the plug, etc. I will be backing up all the content, or most of it just for nostalgia purposes but other than that backup everything will disappear into the ether of the internets.
A lot has changed since I started this blog. Everyone on the internet seems to have a music blog, or tumblr, or what have you. It’s intimidating, and it’s hard not to get cynical. It’s also hard to attempt to generate any unique content. If you want to keep up with me or contact me any time in the future, you can find my twitter here. You can also email me at omar.shaukat(at)gmail(dot)com
Thank you for all your eyes and input over the years. It really has been a pleasure running this thing, or rather maintaining it every once in a while. Content you used to find on this site will be regularly available on the new rainydawg radio (University of Washington’s Radio Station) website here: http://www.rainydawg.org/ It’s got a banging blog that I hope will become a force in the next year or so. If you’re in the northwest and want to get drinks in the next year, contact me. I’ll be up for it as I turn 21 this August.
That’s all. Take care, and godspeed.
