Hope you had a really great weekend. Yesterday, I was invited on the San Diego radio show 91x that plays all things San Diego-independent music. I’d never been on the radio before, aside from a few college courses I took way back when, but this was the real deal, headphones and all. I invited a few of my friends who also work at Invisible Children, they brought the pie and moral support. I was interviewed about my music blog called Friends With Both Arms, which is really cool because it started a year and a half ago in the summer of ‘09 back in Toronto. Really humble beginnings, really just me blogging about music I loved, in my bedroom. Since then, I’ve been able to do some really cool stuff through it, like connect with likeminded bloggers whom I so admire, put on neat shows and get mixtapes from my favorite artists. 

I mostly wanted to talk about how inspired I’ve been by the San Diego music scene, artists like Joel P West and the Tree Ring, and Writer. We played a few songs off the Tree Ring record that will soon be released. In fact, they’re having a record release party on Feb. 12th at the San Diego Women’s Club. You definitely need to check out this band if you haven’t heard them before.
