Pause

Matt Yanchyshyn @ 16:54

Yes, there haven’t been many posts lately. Let’s just say that Benn loxo du taccu is on pause until further notice.

It’ll likely be back in some form, at some stage, but for now we rest.

Thanks for following me this far: five years and nearly 500 posts.

Cheers,
Matt

    Dear Matt,
    I’ll be missing your amusing and interesting stories and the variety of your music!
    I have learned so much from it all, especially about African music – so thanks a lot!
    My very best wishes to you,

    I was a constant follower – hope, it’s just the “pause”-button, not “stop”. Thank you for all the music,

    Matt,

    thank you and good luck. I can’t tell you how much i’ve enjoyed your writings. And thanks for inspiring/catalyzing so many other blogs.

    I do hope to hear from you again, and soon, unless there are too many interesting exciting things going on to carry on this sort of running commentary.

    best,
    cheeku

    I simply love the way you travel. For myself, I do it quite the same way, trying to catch as much live music as I can endure, falling back to buy CDs only if I couldn’t make it to a single show. There’s a so close connection between music and travel that makes it impossible to summarize but as many other readers and listeners I also felt it throughout your posts.
    Big up for what you already did and all the best for what you’re doing now.

    Matt,

    Thanks for all the great music and great writing. It’s been a pleasure reading Benn Loxo, and I look forward to more in the future.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks for all the inspirational music and the well-written pieces that went with the tracks. Like so many others, I learnt so much here.

    Hope you do find the time and energy to resume this legendary blog in the future.

    It’s sad to see so many of my old favorites shutting down. Yours was definitely one of the best music blogs ever.

  16. lily kane @ 21:44 on 2009-10-14

    So sad to see you go. Come back soon – we’ll be here…

  20. Shogo @ 08:52 on 2009-11-20

    So much good stuff here, I only regret that I forgot about it for a while. I’ll be checking back to see if you’ve un-paused Benn Loxo, but until then, cheers!

  21. roamin @ 18:44 on 2009-11-24

    Enjoy your rest. I join the other comments in saying we hope you return.

  22. deb @ 03:29 on 2009-11-30

    Gosh. I don’t visit as often as I should, and when I do this is what I see?!

    Seriously, thanks for all the wonderful music . And a great big thanks for posting Natural Self’s “Olufeme Remix” along with Oscar Sulley’s original some time ago.)

    Don’t be a stranger.

    All the best,

    deb
