Unfortunate

So, the ship that was Tranquilizer Radio has sunk into the deepest parts of the internet ocean and will remain there. Most of the DJs are forming a new site, but I’ve relieved myself of my duties as host of The Neutral Ground. It’s too much work for someone who needs to focus on school and fucking graduate.
