Well one year ago today we put up our first post here on Pasta Primavera, and I thought I should write a little somethin’ somethin’ to reflect back on our first year in the blogosphere. Years ago I wanted to start a music blog, but I was working a certain crappy job that paid the bills, but didn’t leave much time for anything else. So I was content on reading blogs like Gorilla Vs. Bear, I Guess I’m Floating, 3hive, Sixeyes, and So Much Silence for my music fix. A little over 13 months ago I was fortunately able to ditch that job for a new one that let my mind (and time) ease up a bit, and that’s when I thought up the idea for the blog Pasta Primavera (the name has it’s origin from the Beastie Boys lyric ‘I’m all mixed up like pasta primavera‘ from What Comes Around off of Paul’s Boutique). JB, Simon (evilhomer), and I joined forces just to share our thoughts on music with each other. We really didn’t think anyone would find us and actually read what we were writing. A few months into it we realized that people were actually reading so we started to take things a bit more seriously (well not that serious, but serious enough to say we’re serious). We also began to take notice of the enormous and awesome music scene from the Baltimore/DC/Philly section of the east coast and made a goal to support it to the best of our abilities. After that things were just a blast. Tons of great music constantly passes through our ears and we try our best to pass it on to you. Finally I just want to say thanks…to everyone who has spent more than a second perusing our site in search of that musical note to brighten your day. Without you we’d just be some blog somewhere doing something. With you, we’re Pasta Primavera. Here’s to reminiscing….
