I Like Germans & Free Music. I like Talking To Turtles. End Random Sentences.
So random sentences aside, I in fact find a healthy portion of my readers (I gots me some analytics y’all) are from Germany. I also have a few online friends that find themselves located over yonder…what is it with the Germans having great musical taste? I tend to be partial as my wife is of…

Entertainment For The Braindead — Hydrophobia
Free music is always good. Free music is always great when it is worth having and actually listening to. I have been introduced to aaahh records previously, but sometimes I just need a couple of pushes to get my attention. In this case the two pushes came in the form of Common Folk Meadows post…
