Dear blog,

Am working at a camp as a counselor this summer. No updates until September or late late August.

Love,
Mick

Revamping the site. Be patient.
EDIT: Development on hold until September.

Update:
You can watch the development take place here. I decided to start from scratch and it’s going to be a slow process. It will look like complete crap for a while and not function properly.

When finished, the idea is this: Two blogs side-by-side written by different authors posting music as always using only one Wordpress installation. This should help with the whole long time between updates thing and also make for interesting reading. Now I’ve just got to find that other writer.

Also toying with the idea of mp3 or artist of the week that would be displayed up in the header. I think I could pull this off fairly easily with no extra plugins and minimal coding. Any other ideas? Do tell.

Just a little plug for my friend Neuro at postrocking.com - Check it out!

Over 9500+ tracks hand-picked with a high-quality AAC+ Stream. Can’t get much better than that.

After Andrew from Preservation contacted me the other day about my promise to upload the Saddleback album, I sort of had a little epiphony and decided to draw up some guidelines. Because of the party that brought this little change of heart about, I decided to name it after them - Cheers! Make this the first amendment of the RHPro constitution.

THE PRESERVATION ACT
From now until eternity, the following shall be observed:
I [RHPro Constitutional Outline]
a This constitution may be changed at any time by the host or by consent of the host.
b Failure to follow these rules and guidelines may result in undesired post editing.
bb If you have to be told more than once, you shouldn’t be writing here.

II [Numerical Guidelines and Limits]
a No album or albums uploaded to any ftp shall be shared on this blog.
aa Promotional mixes are an exception, and don’t count as albums.
b No more than two mp3s from any single album shall be included per post.
bb … Unless the album is a mix or compilation and contains a number of different artists

III [Credit and Citation]
a Authors may choose to check the RIAA record label listing before posting any mp3s.
aa Artists whose labels are on this list should not be posted.
aaa Any mp3 shared should not have artist - title.mp3 format.
b Links at the bottom of posts should link back to the artist or label’s website
bb If no artist/label website is found, link to artist’s myspace page.
bbb If none of the above is found, a website must be provided to donate to or buy from the artist.
c If available, authors must should use mp3s provided by the artist or label.
cc If no mp3s are publicly available, authors may upload mp3s observing rule II-b.

Stay tuned.

Some idiot was hitting my mp3 directory hard so my host caught on and had me take it down. I have an alternate mean of hosting my files, but all of my past posts are going to have broken links.

Jon and Derek and Kris all have alternate hosting options so all their posts should be fine.

Just a heads up, and file any requests for songs to be rehosted here.
