#1: We started a blog that nobody read.

Ah, Where to begin?

If you're reading this, then you probably already know a bit about our story, this crazy internet voting project Nina and I are embarking upon. It certainly does feel like the definite beginning of something, although what that something is won't be clear until weeks and months have passed us by.

Two offerings to you, for starters:

#1: The photo on the right. It seems appropriate for a number of reasons: it was taken on a road trip to Nova Scotia at the beginning of our relationship; we're in the image spectrally, in shadow, not revealing too much of ourselves yet willingly participating; in the foreground, a concrete walkway recedes into the bay, either a literal road to nowhere or path into the unknown, depending upon how you're feeling.

#2: The first of what we hope will be many songs offered up to our readers. This time it is a track entitled (appropriately enough) "I Started A Blog Nobody Read." It's by a band we're big fans of, Sprites, which is the project of a fella named Jason Korzen who formerly fronted an amazing band called Barcelona. This track is off Modern Gameplay, the band's sophomore release, which covers the same sort of sonic and lyrical territory Barcelona did: poppy, synth flavored songs about dorky concerns like robots, computers, and the "indie" music world. If you like it, you'll like the rest of the record, which you can buy here.
