i dig music - we're back

We're back and excited to give you a snap shot of what we're listening to and what we're excited about right now. Alex and I are now living in different cities which makes podcasting a little tricky, so we're going to focus on blog posts with the occasion podcast thrown in.

It's been six months so there is a lot of ground to cover, but instead of back tracking we're just going to jump right in with what we're into now, leading up to an end of year best-of in December.

So stay tuned, and keep diggin' music.
