Hello HAFILAXers, Sorry for the short hiatus, Work/Life balance has been a bit hectic, and thus the site was neglected for a moment.

Happy International Women’s Day

March 8, 2018 Jeff

I hate that we have to have a day to celebrate women, but it's not because of the celebration, it's more that we should just celebrate half of the population on a daily basis! Women are incredible.

October 25, 2017 Trev

Gabrielle Papillon - "Keep the Fire" https://youtu.be/Yyknc92r17k The lead single off of Papillon's recently released LP is nothing short of fire. It may not be loaded with bombast, but it is a dynamic and soaring affair that comes through like a cool breeze during a nor'easter. It's a beautifully haunting track that deserves your attention.… Read More
