May 1, 2014

Things are looking up. We’re outta the woods now. The shade shall not be concerned with us. Because this is May - the very best month and the beginning of very good things - like live rock ‘n roll music concert shows. #SEO #skills. Yep. Everything’s coming up sunshine and roses on Whoa My Blobness. You should just see the names of some of these big time a-list alt bands playing shows soon. And you can. By hanging around our Just Announced Shows section. It’s chill. You can loiter on there as long as you want and save what you like to your “My Rockness” thing. We don’t need to get into who’s playing where in this space. That smells a little too #specific. Just click that goodness link up there and leisurely go down your own digital journey of musical discovery free from expectations. Speaking of free - #seque #skillz - before everyone moves on to other preferred forms of procrastination, we’d like to also mention (if that’s ok with you but no worries either way) that more really good free summer shows have been announced and added to our coyly titled “The Rockness Guide to Free Summer Shows” list. But we won’t get into now. That would be a little too “on-the-nose” for old Blobness. Just click that link. And trust your #heart.
