I've been busy updating the We Heart Music About Page (which you can access on the very top menu, next to Contact, on the front page). It's kind of fun to take a drive down memory lane. As you can see from the timeline, there's been a lot of changes since 2007. I wish I had taken more screen shots at random times, rather than just waiting for an event to trigger a manual snapshot.

Ash vs Ash vs Evil Dead
We are big fans of the Northern Irish group Ash, formed in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton and drummer Rick McMurray, before they were legal age! My favorite album of theirs is 1977, the record that spawn such hits as “Kung Fu”, “Girl From Mars”, and “Goldfinger”.
