Welcome To SMGM

After searching for a while, I’ve realized the only thing I really give a damn about is music. And, there’s so much great music. So welcome, to music listeners of all notes. I hope you may find these posts informative, occasionally amusing, but above all, whenever possible, please try to listen to the music: Maybe you’ll discover a new song or band, or maybe you’ll notice something new in a song you’ve heard hundreds of times. Or, just kill a few minutes of your day; you’ve wasted time on worse.
