I apologise for not blogging that much over the past few months. Life and other radio projects managed to become more important. But it seems I’ve manage to make a success of those other things overcoming me in my life. Now it’s time to get back to my first love.

2012 marks a new year and that means new beginnings for North American Scum. I asked myself if this blog was able to compete with other music blogs. Perhaps not was the answer. It’s not my first job so quality would always suffer. I’m a radio producer by trade and I know what people really want when it comes to music. They want the music, duh! So that’s what I’m giving you. Each week I will upload the radio show in its entirety for your listening pleasure.

This week’s show wasn’t really intended to be uploaded. It was a little below par. But I had the audio ready for the Sunday repeat show, so I decided to upload it anyway. The playlist is below and in order. Please enjoy.
