Sometimes, to know where you stand now, you need to look backwards a little bit to see where you came from. It's hard to grow unless you know what the inches mean. It's tough to graduate unless you do your homework.
I guess FmGT is no different. Without being too hackneyed, we have come a considerable distance since March 1, 2005. Lots more readers, lots more suggestions, even some new writers in the pipeline. But more importantly, we've made a home.
And so, this is that post, that "look back" at some old tracks hosted and some old writing, mainly because I can't seem to upload from my current Pennsylvania location and I'm running a little low in the material department. When TV shows would do this, it always pissed me off. Like the Simpsons throwing a retrospective episode together, where they're all sitting around reminiscing about shit from eight seasons ago, or Seinfeld's "compilation" episodes. Yeah, they're annoying on TV. Hopefully you won't find this post too annoying, because after all, at least it's something, right?
Plus, I know Silent K has something on the stove, simmering gently. Also, when I get back to FmGT HQ [hopefully this week?], there is a bathtub full of new music, including some perfect recipes to calm the hunger of some shoutbox requests. New Beck on the up-and-up, and some new MF Doom [if I can find it].
And so begins the re-run. Enjoy.
[EDIT: And there's no real reason why most of the tracks I picked were posted by me. Just ones that were jumping out. Silent K, don't be mad at me, sucka!]

ay, just found your blog, and scanning it through it, i get the rush of finding a music lover into the same shit I like, and excited looking through all the shit that I never heard of.
Little Barrie is superb, his next album is BANANAS, listen to their next single on myspace pin that badge

JB - will check it out. Cheers.
Anon 1 - thanks for the compliment! Yeah, you'll find a bizarre mix just about every post, so please, stay a while, eat as much as you want.
Anon 2/Louise - thanks for the tip. Had no clue a new LB album was already on the way out... looking forward to it. I was surprised more blogs weren't hyping that LP, because let's face it, it was pretty damn good.
