This morning, I launched the Radio Matthew blog under a new layout. I figured since the blog has become the makeshift portal for the Fierce Panda Podcasts, it was time to give the whole site a more professional approach while still maintaining the organized and clean aspect that I was driven to deliver.

Sad to say, I’ve neglected updating LiveJournal for the past few days. This has mostly been due to a few things: One, I spent at least four days in Sacramento this past week (Tuesday with Darius and Adrian, Wednesday for a job interview, Thursday for Thanksgiving and Friday for Lambda). Saturday was the one day I didn’t spend on Interstate 80. I do need to update LiveJournal soon, though, and I probably will when I wake up (it’s six in the morning and I still haven’t gotten to sleep). Yesterday, I learned the news that one of our family friends is having another baby–we’re all pulling for Brandy and Charles to have a little girl this time!

Over the past two days, I have downloaded several albums. The first would be the Missy Higgins album Sound of White. I saw Missy perform in July at Alice’s Summerthing concert, and her album is definitely worth looking into. Another album I downloaded was Blue October’s hit album Foiled. Coincidentally, I was invited to Alice’s Now & Zen 2006 concert (Blue October was one of five bands to participate), but donated the tickets to a fellow Alice fan who was actually able to attend. Among the many others I downloaded this week was UK sensation James Morrison, whose album Undiscovered remains just that here in the United States, but has managed to find its way on my iTunes library nonetheless where it’s been looped for the past day. As the UK’s Sun newspaper said: “There isn’t a bad track on this album.”
