(La) luna Turns Four Months Old Today

Hello dear readers,

Today, April 17th, marks the four month anniversary of the day I started (La) luna (back then it went by the title, The Killing Moon). Believe it or not, my original idea for the blog was a mix of MP3 posts and a few film reviews. Things changed quickly however, and for the better. It is incredible how quickly the blog has evolved both in terms of content and appearance, and it will be interesting to see how (La) luna continues to develop over the course of the remainder of the year. The ongoing (and potentially endless) Paisley Underground Series should bring in many new readers and give the blog a new identity, which, up to this point, has been connected with 4AD-style dream-pop. While I will still post regularly from the dream-pop genre, I am hoping to broaden the range of (La) luna a bit, and the new series should help accomplish this. I also have a few blog-related announcements:

I have created a feature in the side-bar beneath the Google search box called "(La) luna Artist Archives." These are links to static pages on which you will find artwork and links to the individual posts in each series as well as posts related to the series. In addition, I will be creating similar static pages for artists whom I have posted four or more times. This is another way to make the blog more convenient and searchable. It also keeps the series posts from becoming hopelessly buried in the back pages.

I also want to request that more of you hit the 'follow' button. My favorite part of blogging is knowing that you like what I'm posting and that you enjoy the blog in general. While I love interacting with you in the post comments, only a few of you actually leave such comments, which means the only way I get feedback on the blog is through gaining followers. So, if you enjoy the blog and have a Goggle account (or can sign up for one), please do so and become an official follower of the blog. Thank you :)
