Taking care of business.

A few days ago, I linked up to the blog my friend and Time Out New York colleague Hank Shteamer maintains for his band, while offering excuses for not mentioning the band's name. And already there's a further development: Hank has launched a new blog, Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches, devoted exclusively to his voracious music consumption. He's brought over some of the vivid, recent posts I mentioned earlier (Cecil Taylor, Xiu Xiu, Cannibal Corpse, etc.), and already, he's added newer reports on Cheer-Accident, Steely Dan, Melvins, Evan Parker and more. I've updated the link in the blogroll. Go look.
