Bringing in a new Era

Once again, another three weeks have blown by. Living back in the city has consistently and constantly pulled me away from the computer, to the extent that I almost forgot how to run this place. I'm getting the mojo back though, although I'm thinking of switching it up a little, and changing the focus a little bit.

The Oatmeal Bandit is living it up in semi-retirement, Codec's playing the work game insanely hard lately, and Silent K's been equally busy. Me? I've been working on more than a few offline opportunities, including some serious work on the turntables to get back up to speed. As a result, something has suffered, and it's been this place. I can't tell you how sad it's been to see it dwindle over the last couple of months. For a good while, we were swinging along, writing a lot, posting an insane amount of music, and keeping up a breakneck pace of 6 articles a week.

I would love to get back to that, and I'm working on it, maybe bringing in some new people to the FmGT family or something, but in the meantime, baby steps.

I've got some treats for tomorrow, and we'll take it from there. I owe all of you out there so much more, because you've been loyal, dedicated, thoughtful, insightful readers, commenting up a storm on our bigger features and wading through the morass of our minds the rest of the time.

FmGT is still here, FmGT still has the desire and the content to poke its neck back above the sand, and I'm working hard on that. Some new graphics would be a start, and those are in the pipeline.

Music writers out there? Drop me a line and let's get a dialogue going, maybe some collaboration. You know what we do here, and it's time we got back to that.

I've some long-term series I want to produce, and those are being combed through slowly in order to bring some regularly-themed content to the table. More depth, more thought, more literary content.

I've a ton of music sitting here to be shared with the world, one tune at a time.

Please stick with us just a little longer, and we'll be back on our game.

Much love,
JT.

Tomorrow: a hearty dose of Afrobeat to soothe the soul and usher in the weekend.
