Umlauts:

Boring Introductory Post

Hello, hello. Welcome to Umlauts, a weblog about pop music, mostly of the European variety. Umlauts is, by and large, the official successor to Enthusiastic but Mediocre, a decently-read and surprisingly-appreciated pop blog that ran from November 2003 to December 2004, hosting the odd MP3 here and there before being unceremoniously flattened by its impetuous creator.

With other regular (and perhaps irregular) contributors on board, some of whom know about the songs being discussed, Umlauts hopes to retain the charming "people at a schmick dinner party listening to Dragostea Din Tei" of EBM's better moments. Honest, occasionally excitable commentary without any taint of professionalism.

And yes, there will be MP3s.
