One Year of Dead Flowers

Let me thank all the people that have visited Dead Flowers this past year--I've had a lot of fun with the site. It started out as merely a vehicle for youtubes--I thought I had had enough of rock journalism after my last site, Glamorama. Much to my surprise, as the site has developed, I have rediscovered my love for writing about music. Hopefully that's coming through in the reviews and other features. Here are some of the moments I'm proudest of from Dead Flowers, year one:

Reviews
Radiohead: "In Rainbows"
Babyshambles: "Shotters Nation"
Interpol: "Our Love to Admire"
The Veils: Live in Chicago

Interviews
Matt from Foreign Born
Hildur from Amiina

Features
From the Shadows: Jimmy Miller
10-Song Introductions: The Libertines
10-Song Introductions: Belle and Sebastian

While you're browsing through the archives, make sure to pick up any mp3s that you missed. With the exception of those songs found in features and reviews, I'll be deleting the old crop of mp3s to free up ftp space and avoid copyright issues.

Sorry for the recent lack of posting--I've been busy with an exhausting move. However, year two of Dead Flowers will begin promptly on Monday. Some of the things I have on tap are 10-Song Introductions: Pulp, and reviews of The Raveonettes' "Lust Lust Lust" and Sigur Ros's "Hvarf/Heim".

Cheers
-Mike
