tom signs off. sad to see the old girl go. i suppose lasting 6 years is like living to 200 in blog time, but still.

the freakytrigger crew (and especially mr. ewing) almost singlehandedly turned the way i thought about music on its head back in '01. for a good three years it was the hub of my online/music-nerding world, and remains one of the main pillars of my music (and art in general) aesthetic.

nyplm also holds the dubious distinction of being the first music blog (or blog at all) that i ever knowingly encountered, and god knows what a dark path that's lead down.

you should all take tom up on his recommendation and check out the archives. there is soooo much great stuff in there. just pick a random month from 2001-2 and you will be astounded.

best. blog. ever. for seriously.
