The Wiggly Tendrils

Conor Loughridge, formerly of First Coat, has a new songwriting blog, “The Wiggly Tendrils” — and the ambitious goal of writing a few songs each week for the year. With some great results so far: right now, we especially recommend “Consider the Necessity”( mp3 1.9 MB) from this past Monday.
We’ve made some small adjustments to our links page, including our recommended listening: artists and projects section.
