I’m believing and praying that APNF will continue to celebrate the music and artists I love while bringing my childhood dream of becoming a cartoonist full circle.

I haven’t posted here in a while so I thought I’d put share some randomness. On December 31, the 2010 Best Albums Round Table (BART) Podcast will be available for download. Six music aficionados: EJ Flavors, Butta, KB, DJ Diva, The Big La and yours truly come together to discuss our favorite albums of the year along with honorable mentions, predictions for 2011 and a whole lot of fun. I…

I’m always looking for ways to step my game up with the Friday Favecast. I wanted to create something that illustrated the journey of the show, in a way that was brief, innovative and fun.
