That's okay. I rarely rec any of the majors (other than, I suppose, ECM). There's already plenty of people on the internet doing that. I'm just looking for the best jazz, but I lean heavily on giving my limited time and space to those musicians who will likely not have anyone else speaking for them.
Jonah, thanks, just started listening to it. Does sound very interesting. Some moments at the beginning remind me a little of some Kammerflimmer Kollektief. Then it heads off somewhere else.
Thanks. Agreed. I am already wanting to write @MiG, and I think need to be able to do so to spread familiarity. Just had someone follow me that I am sure is due to the blog and the tweets of reviews, looking at their interests.
I assume that @MiG was taken? The only reason I ask is because, on twitter, character space is at a premium, and the shorter we can make our own twitter tag, the more space others will have when they retweet us or reply to our tweets. I say this as a person who regrets not making my twitter callsign @BitW (instead of @BirdIsTheWorm).
Just to follow up on getting a Twitter (and other social site buttons) plugin added to MiG... I don't think I got a response on my suggestion for the plugin add. This way we, and readers, can tweet directly from each MiG article. Quite frankly, that whole JetPack plugin has been really helpful on BitW.
I'm gonna see about going through all the posts on MiG and start tweeting them out at regular intervals and hopefully find twitter addresses that relate to the subjects of the articles.
Wasn't sure where to go with this but a nice website for Alia-Vox which produces many of the Jordi Savall releases and assorted compatriots. Was looking for some info on the new Mare Nostrum release. Has some very nice music playing on it too.
For the time being, I will use it as a BitW sidecar site, and will only post pictures of artist work spaces, with accompanying audio file and album/song synopsis as appropriate.
I've kinda wanted to do something like this ever since discovering Tumblr.

I retweeted your post about the MiG review.
MiG needs its own Twitter account. It also should have it's own email account.

But, sure, I'm happy to be the MiG twitter guy.

You already knew that of course.
