Because of my unexpected two day hiatus from blogging I missed two days of my seven day Whole Wheat Radio Artist of the Day experiment. I’m going right ahead and rectifying this by recommending one of my favourites, Johnsmith!

It’s Miku Day and all she got from me was this lousy blog post ^_^;;. Actually it’s even worse than that, Miku Day was yesterday!
Hatsune Miku is of course the insanely popular idol originally from Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 voice synthesiser software, but she’s since been serialised in her own manga, has games released, and has even appeared in Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei (of course!).

Self professed blogging experts (who’s blogs aren’t well known, go figure) say you should never write posts discussing why you haven’t blogged. I’ve already used the word blog four times here. Anyway what have I been doing in this two day absence?
Don’t read this post, the quality doesn’t improve.
This could be the greatest CD cover, ever! I don’t know why.

For your consideration ^_^. If Tarale happens to come across this, she may want to avoid it because it contains a random list of confusing, disparate thoughts again!
In a tip of the hat to Jim Kloss who was essentially driven off Wikipedia by trigger happy administrators as well as some recent adventures of my own, I’ve updated my Wikipedia user page.
Part three in the Rubenerd Whole Wheat Radio Artist of the Day (try saying that really fast!) is Esther Golton!

Given I already linked to John Gorka from Whole Wheat Radio yesterday, I thought it’d be fun to do an artist of the day thingy here for a week and see what new stuff I discover. Today’s band is one I’d never heard before, but they hands down do the best rendition of Born in Chicago that I’d ever friggen heard in my life, the Chicago Blues Reunion!
I could transcribe their description, but best to go to their artist page and see for yourself; from there you can also see their links to other social networks and even request some of their songs and the WWR audio stream will accommodate :).
