I broke my promise. Several months ago my plan was to update Wider Angle at least weekly with my views, slightly witty commentary, and links of interest. Despite my vow to myself and to you, I've failed.

Yet still, I'm not sure what I can do about this, and it's hurting me. At the moment I have a pretty high-level job in book design and I run Olaris Records, which averages about 12-14 releases a year. In addition to that, I'm art directing friskyRadio and designing the new site plus art directing and designing for Proton Radio, a former rival, to the tune of five to seven hours a week. Add that to the three remixes and two original songs I produce each month and there's barely time to watch a movie. Well, usually a Rifftrax.

So, that said, I'm not quite sure what to do here. I could tell you that my new single, Turning Tricks, just came out on my label Olaris under the Proton banner and is available exclusively at Beatport for at least a month, but that would be inappropriate.

More than anything, this is an apology, and a promise I may not live up to that I'll try to do better. I know the readers of Wider Angle are wonderful and several are some of my favorite people in the world, so it disappoints me greatly not to be able to contribute more to this blog. If any guest bloggers would like to offer a hand, that would be wonderful. But aside from that, I hope to soon block off time on Sundays to write what will eventually amount to a column.

That's coming soon. It won't be about music really and it won't be about politics, but it will be about real life. Shit that we deal with and how to deal with it better. Any ideas or questions are welcome.

Anyway, thanks for reading this and reading altogether after all this time. Hope you're all well, and I send my sincere love to you.
