I should not still be here

No really, I shouldn’t be here. And instead, I’ve been all evening sorting out and rereading drafts of old articles I wrote between 2011 and 2014, some absolute crap, most basically just quick messy notes, plus a couple of interesting ones that I plan to fix when I get an inspired night like this again.

Because even though I should be doing something else, and I really should, I always end up back here in the comfort zone talking about filth and rotten stuff. Nuclear Abominations stuff you know, disturbing horror ugliness in various forms.

To be completely honest, I barely buy new records nowadays. Most of my old, heavy collection is firmly closed into boxes on the upper floor of my house waiting for some construction works to finish one day. Like most people today, I too listen to a selected few records I have bought recently but most stuff I check online with headphones on. How relevant can be an opinion on this or that record anymore, considering everything is already at hand?

I have written posts on how completely different the job of a zine editor is today. Basically, I think I cannot even call myself one anymore since I hardly do what a zine editor is supposed to do. And I don’t have the patience or interest in carefully selecting words to safeguard some shitty album. I am not so sure what this last shot at the fanzine will lead to. Who knows.

This blog is destined to be just a reflection of how I feel about this and that record with no specific calendar, so check here every now and then. I might also be using this blog for updates on the label even if the proper blog for that is supposed to be the distribution one. But since the distribution is slowly folding, let’s keep everything here for the moment.
