Everything Earthly Passes

ALL the blogs I followed a year ago are abandoned.
Three local community radio programs I listened to are gone.
The local entertainment weekly has stopped carrying my fave crossword.
Mark Hollis hasn't released recordings since 1998

However:
I am now on Twitter
I have been listening to classical music, thanks to suggestions from BBC 4 Radio's "Desert Island Discs."
I listen to three podcasts from beautiful Vancouver, BC, courtesy of UBC's CITR-FM! (Folk Oasis, Misery Hour, Sweet and Hot, and the erratic Generation Exploitation as a lagniappe)

Canada and the UK still offer me hope, while my local community culture decays.
