Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers New Music and Video

Over the last few years, TP and the HBs have really made way into my music library. When I saw them live 2 years ago at Outside Lands in San Francisco, I think that was the closer. Today they have released a music video for their new song, "I Should Have Known It" This song appears on their upcoming album MOJO which drops June 15th!

Back At It

After some time off from the blog world, I would like to think my life is getting back to normal after 5 months of legendary travel stories.

With that, a new blog layout and design is out. Had some html issues but gonna have to make due. I sold out too if you haven't noticed. Put some advertisements up to try to get some cash on the side.

On a similar note, this blog now has over 10,000 page views. There are bound to be some flaws in the count and most visitors are my reoccurring loyal readers, but i still think it is a pretty solid accomplishment having just been in existence for 3 years

The blog from here on out will once again transition away from a travel blog and have more posts to relevant current events, sport stories, and music. Music being such a great passion of mine, the blog will transform into a breeding ground for great new music out there. Tough luck but i like to think I have the best music taste in the world and I want everyone to know about it.

I consider this blog a passion of mine and will do my best to keep it current. Enjoy

Here is a look into the history of this grand site
