Interview: The Fun Years

I think this blog has slept long enough and it should not be about posting Youtube links only.
I recently asked some artists to share some information about their working process which is a rather nerdy approach to doing this question-answer thing. I did this once …

Boduf Songs - Pitiful Shadow Engulfed In Darkness

Saudade - the hooded ones

I am quite busy with my own music at the moment and somehow really lost the urge to write about music in general - my last article for de:Bug is more than 9 months old I think and I guess their focus also changed.

Implex Grace - Through Luminescent Passages I (Distance Recordings)

The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E. Smith

Been "The Fall"-Week over here. Look, what I just found...

Why december should be banned... (too early for new year's resolutions)

It is the hectic season for me. Nevertheless I thought I should write about music again. And as I think that the stuff I want to feature here is maybe a bit obscure to write for maybe ten people in german language, I decided to switch to english for the majority of the …
