leading off

so I hate blogs & all, but I'm doing this because I want a place to list my favorite new artists. these are mostly bands I've discovered while listening to my radio station I put together. if you're wondering where I got the title "The Euphonic Apparatus of Calen Fretts", that's what I named my iPod when I got it last year [yes, before I'd even heard of RJA ;) ]. I figure my friends might like to find out about this awesome rockin' new music too so I'm putting the link out there. I'll try to update it every day so be sure to check back - I have lots of good stuff to share! let me know what you think in the comments!
