Whilst I don’t have the capacity re: time and energy etc, plus have lost a bit of metadata with the death of my prior site - I can’t in good conscience let stellar posts and input from the Musolegion community (as well as a chance for promoting a lot of great bands!) go to waste.

Keep following us on the new site for future segments!
