Goodbye

Well I have officially stopped working on the freewave and I'm not sure of the health of blogs after megaupload died and google stopped giving good search results for any blogs.

Thanks for the memories freewave readers. We didn't burn out but kinda faded away.

I won't delete this blog as some sites may still be alive and people may still be able to find great music available on the internet through here (although most posts will show dead blogs). It was great for so long and I thank everyone who used the site regularly. If anyone wants to take over as an author and continue let me know otherwise this is likely it.
