Long time...

So just as I was getting in the writing mood, Grad School kicked in immediately thereafter; it kind of snuck up on me really. I did get quite a bit of writing done for Scene Point Blank right before it started, which is good because this class is crushing me under the weight of all the "written" work that is due (mostly because I am not in the mode for school work, even now two weeks down into in the class). Ah well, I am not completely insane yet and there is less than four weeks to go.

Thankfully, I have been finding a huge amount of new music and rediscovered some older records that I guess that I just never gave its just due. Some of the newer records (some chronologically new some not so much) that are easing through the headphones right now include: Donnacha Costello's Together Is the New Alone, Clint Mansell's Moon soundtrack (the movie is awesome and well worth seeing), and a bunch of House of Low Culture rarities (I am still trying to figure out what everything is). Some of the rediscovering going on includes last years collaboration between Black Boned Angel and Nadja called Christ Send Light as well as some of Aidan Bakers solo material (Green and Cold specifically).

I am still anxiously awaiting the GREYMACHINE full length as well as the new records coming soon from Jesu and the Nadja Under a Jaguar Sun album.

I am hoping to finish up my mid year music write ups that I promised last within the next couple of days, but we'll see what Grad School says...
