Goodbye.

Writing this blog used to bring me joy, but it no longer serves that purpose. As of today, I have decided to forgo all further posting. Thank you to everyone who has read, supported or otherwise been loyal to Music Induced Euphoria. It's been a blast.
Happy musicing. Vinyl forever.

Noooo!!! this is really sad news....

Little Gray Pixel said...

That's too bad. I really looked forward to your updates! Thanks for the fun while it lasted.

Frankie said...

No way! I enjoyed checking your blog out for new music and the Sunday Morning Covers. Thanks for everything, but I hope ya come back soon.

Get eXposed Music said...

That's terrible news. I LOVED Sunday Morning Covers. Any particular reason you're hanging it up?

Rol said...

Sorry to hear that, Hanan. Take care of yourself!

Tara said...

The words "NOOO! WHYYY? POR QUE?!" have suddenly come to mind. Please say that this is all a joke that I just don't get? :(

I trust your judgement enough to know that if this is what you want to do then it's what you should do, but it doesn't mean it's not a real shame - I'll miss this blog, a lot.

It was so cool having someone to obsess about The Strokes with, chat about everything from Black Lips to The Beatles with a bit of Harry Potter banter and crude French fabliaux thrown in for fun. And that's without mentioning all the great music you introduced me to!

So, I guess...just thanks, Hanan, for writing Music Induced Euphoria; it's been awesome.

Good luck with everything, and do stay in touch!

All I can think is "what? what about the daily Strokes posts until album IV?!" didn't want to hold out until then, huh?

That's okay though, do things only so long as they please you, I say. Thanks for the couple cds and many more mp3s over the last year or two!

bummer! It's not April 1st is it? This is saddening. Thanks for the awesome indie rock coverage and unprecedented quality Strokes posts. To me, you are the best Strokes superfan - no others compare. From the bootlegs to videos, I know The Strokes better because of you.

Whatever your reason for leaving may be, be sure to do two things: be rad and enjoy!

Sad news. Have fun in whatever else you do. If you start any other blogs, let us know. Otherwise, I'll see you in the front row at The Strokes Coachella 2011!!

i just created an account so i could say goodbye. i've followed your blog since i discovered it over a year ago. i'm sorry that it no longer brings you the happiness it once did. i just thought that you should know that you've brought joy to more people than you know, me and my friends included.

thank you

Olivia said...

This is horrible, but I understand the sentiment. It's been quite a trip, but please come back when the next Strokes album comes out, I feel like we deserve your thoughts :P

I've been following your blog for a while now, and am really sad to see it go =( Just wanted to thank you for writing MIE! All of the Strokes posts were incredibly amazing, and I've found so much other great music through this site!! All the best!

Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me. Tomorrow will be different, so this is why I'm leaving

i'm really sorry to hear that. this is still an awesome place though and i'm probably guna visit it until i finish reading the whole thing :)

Unknown said...

This blog was actually my favorite thing on the internet. Hanan, thanks for having exceptional taste in music, and for sharing it with the rest of us. Take care and thanks again!

Unknown said...

This is so sad! I love your taste in music and have really enjoyed exploring new bands that you have recommended. I hope you will set up a new blog or return after you've taken a break - here's hoping that Strokes IV will ignite your music blogging passion! In the meantime, thanks for all the wonderful music!!

Ariel said...

Hanan,

Reading your blog, and your comments on mine over the years, has brought me great joy. So, even though you yourself may not be enjoying it anymore, you should take solace in the fact that you've made another music fan happier all these years.

Keep vinyl alive.

Hey Hanan,

This sucks so bad, but it's up to you and I completely respect that. I don't know if you're going to keep the site up, but if not then you are welcome to write on mine at any time and about anything you wish. (Especially the Strokes, as I've been avoiding them out of respect!)

You know where to find me if you'd like.

Cheers and Good Luck!
-Chris

I feel so guilty for never commenting on all your amazing entries. You introduced me to Phoenix, you wrote about my favourite band on earth every day (literally) and fed me amazing photos of julian casablancas. What will I read now? ):
I really hope you'll come back.

Angie said...

I JUST found this! NO!!!! :(

electricturf said...

You'll be back. But if not, God bless.

jpgsloan said...

I still check your blog everyday hoping to find that you've started blogging again. :(

Silvia D. said...

That's the type of news I hate having on a really bad day like today.
Much respect for everything that you've written and researched.
Hoping things are alright and you are doing fine
