Hello

So here it goes, my first blog post. The mission: Sharing gems of new music to friends of a certain age. What exactly is 'of a certain age' you ask? If the blog name is familiar to you, you are probably 'of a certain age': Logan's Run is a '70s sci-fi movie where Logan 5 (Michael York) learns the truth behind the mandatory 'renewal' at the age of 30 (a movie rumored to have a remake in the works, but I digress).
