* CLOSED FOR BUSINESS *
August 14th, 2006
Hello, everyone. It’s been three weeks since my last post so I suppose I should let you know what’s going on. For the second time in less than a year, I’ve had a major life change and a move. I picked up stakes and moved to the city by the Bay.
I’ve also come to grips with the fact that as much as I truly love discovering new music and sharing it with people, it requires just too much time and energy to dedicate to it. Right now, my focus needs to be on other tasks, namely rebuilding my life and giving myself the space to have a fresh start in a brand new city. In the back of my mind when I started this little enterprise, I had grandiose dreams for MO’PGTMFM becoming synonymous with free & legal music. But for the Guide to have become a brand name, it would have required constant attention and a little bit of luck – both of which were in short supply during this last year. Besides, other bloggers are covering the scene way better and more consistently than I ever could.
So, sadly, I’ve closed up shop on the Guide. No more posts (at least not for the foreseeable future). The links will stay up for the time being as I think they are of some value. If you have something meaningful to say, like what your favorite discovery was… I’d love to read about it. If you’re going to make 32 posts about Cialis or other erectile disfunction medicines, please do me a favor and Fuck off. (Yeah, I’ve got the mouth of a sailor. What’s it to ya?) I know that did little good but it made me feel better!
Sincere thanks for being a Guide reader and for participating in my experiment. Like Casey Kasem is fond of saying: Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Welcome to the Bay Area, it’s a great place to live. I’m sorry to hear your closing the blog. I had only just discovered it but you’ve found some great tunes and you’ve got great commentary.

Thanks a lot, Molly!
It was fun while it lasted!

It’s really a shame that you can’t update this blog anymore, but I understand: real life matters, perhaps you would have continued to care about it, if it would get the audience it deserved.
Well, I’m still grateful to you for the very kind thought about your review, and of course I hope to hear you again, whenever you’ll have some time and the right mood.
Ciao from Italy, in bocca al lupo!
(In Italy, we don’t say “good luck” often, as it’s a common belief that it carries bad luck instead, so we use “in bocca al lupo”, which roughly translates as “in the wolf’s mouth”. You should reply “crepi il lupo” which stands for “let the wolf die” :)

Thanks for your efforts. You’ve pointed me at some really good stuff, and your 2005 mix is a regular guest in my CD player.

Aw, well I do hope you change the more real non-internet world when you get out there!
And when you are back, we’ll still be here writing about Cialis and other wonders of modern medicine. :)
