We all know by now that I have short attention span syndrome. I've had this domain for a few weeks, (someone let it drop). This week end I got a wild hair and decided to get something on it.
It's a tribute site to Detroit's most influential radio DJ, Electrifying Mojo, and The Midnight Funk Association (His midnight membership club).
Anyway, it was very influential to a lot of people in S.E. Michigan, N. Ohio, and Windsor Ca, and he is credited with influencing the 3 main artist that started Detroit Techno, and House, which spun into Dance Music as we know it today worldwide. (See the connection ? I have a Dance Music blog, and I grew up around this time in Detroit :))
Content is still in the making, it has a lot of categories, but once I get the initial 12-15 articles on it this week, I will rely on user submission.
Probably monetize it with adsense and music downloads. (edited) I also have an Amazon site that sells all Detroit Sports Team stuff, and Detroit Memorabilia (MotorCityFanShop.com) that I will link to heavily from it. (forgot about that)
It's a free theme that I did a little hack job on ,(will definitely change the header when I get an idea) tell me what you think.
Thanks.

Funny thing, while I was working on it today, I was dropping the plugins and such and went back a few hours later to check the stats for "S's and G's" and it got some hits. Checked the Feed burner and I already have 7 subscribers before I even posted it for review or submitted it (or even indexed it). Strange.
