Mistaken For Strangers

Oy. It's been a while since I've posted here. I've been pretty busy with Comic Addiction, so the bulk of my writting has been going there. I've been having a lot of fun with it and we've got plans to make it bigger and better. Speaking of comics, there are a couple comics blogs and reviews sites I've been digging (some new, some old). The X-Axis provides great reviews on all the X-Men related titles. Paul O'Brien has been writing it for several years and he's well versed in X-History, so this site is a must-read for me when it is updated every Sunday. Eye On Comics is by Don MacPherson formerly of the now defunct, but very enjoyable The Fourth Rail comic book review site. He usually updates once or twice week. Very well written site. I've recently started keeping up with Comic By Comic. Lots of fun commentary there and Rich has a link to nerd[heart]geek on the page. The newest one I found and just started reading today is Wednesday is My Sabbath. A good start and Justing seems to know his stuff so I'm going to keep my eye on this one.

The Great Music Buy of 2007 continues. I picked up the new National cd as well as the Besnard Lakes. I really enjoyed the last National record and saw them for a second time when they were in town a few weeks ago. The Besnard Lakes have been getting a lot of play on Sirius and I've liked what I've heard, so I took a chance. I've been very happy with both purchases, so check them out.

Thanks for the kind words Paul (or do you go by Paul Steven?). I actually just came across your Comic Addiction site as well (from the same Eye on Comics thread you found me on I assume) and particularly enjoyed the Sinestro Corps review.
I started my blog just wanting to do it for myself but putting something out there like that you have the inherent desire to have SOMEONE read it so I really appreciate your comments. Now the hard part, thinking of new stuff to ramble about! Thanks again.
