Better... Stronger... Faster?

Apologies to anyone who’s felt aggravation as a side effect of visiting the site over the past few days (if it’s any consolation, I’m among that number). The posting problems were finally localized to a faulty Pearl script module that got compromised in a recent behind the scenes mandatory host upgrade (largely Greek speak to me). A friendly server tech helped me with the fix and (knock on cast iron ship’s hull) it should be relatively smooth sailing from here on out. Such assurances have a nasty habit of falling short of certainty though, so please keep me appraised of any further headaches or hitches. Enough “meta”, back to the music (& film?)… Couple new reviews to peruse including a Hamid Drake record I really wanted to dig more than I do.
