Returning to Translations Soon, New Tanda Blog!

Hello all,
I’ve been busy in the last few months—I’m applying for MFA programs in Creative Writing next fall.
I will post some new translations soon, I have a queue of requests that has been steadily backing up since August.
I also have news!
Inspired by Tanda of the Week, I have launched a new blog where I post tandas that I have played while DJing, explaining a bit about the songs and why I put them in that order. You can listen to audio files of the tandas to get an idea of how they sound. The new site is called DDP’s Favorite Tandas, and when possible, I link back to translations here. I hope you’ll check it out and maybe share some tandas you’ve heard or would like to hear in the comments.
Abrazos,
Derrick

If you can't get to a record store in Buenos Aires, a great many tangos are available, song by song, in meticulously digitized versions from http://www.tangotunes.com/ and others can be found on the iTunes music store or Amazon (transfer quality varies widely). Though he no longer has inventory available, Michael Lavocah's superb http://milonga.co.uk/ can help you determine which CDs might be best to buy used.
