This podcast was always something that I really looked forward to doing, but never got around to it. With classes, and vacation, and family members and friends always pulling me in multiple directions, I kind of lost time to come out to the University and do this. Of course, I'd be suprised if there are still people monitoring this.

Either way, I'll be deleting most of the episodes, and keeping the ones I really like up.

I'll probably get back into Katie's Essentials when I go back to school. And while the 'A's" in Essential albums are mostly non-J-rock, I will be throwing in a few J-rock albums a bit later.

It's been a pleasure
-Katie

Edit: I accidentally deleted more episodes than I should have, so I might be back with a special episode or two to fill up the remaining 100 MB that I have left. In the mean time, check out my other podcast on my friends list.
