im still in school, but ive been writing here and there for the school paper. i really appreciate the comments though. another problem is money. im so broke that its damn near impossible for me to be at the forefront of all the new bands, i have to wait till the stuff shows up online and then ill write on it, most of the time. i look at some of my favorite zines; blastitude, perfect sound forever, and even the smaller ones like detailed twang and cassette gods; its almost intimidating. noise music has made for such interesting music criticism. these people have to listen to hundreds of casettes and eps every week and are still able to come up with such interesting ideas. like larry dolman of blastitude; that guy is seriously almost on the level of people like lester and meltzer. another thing is these people have access to so many records, i don't yet. but maybe if i started writing that would change, i would love free records, means all i would have to worry about was food, alcohol, weed, and whores. but i really love writing extended articles on my favorites; ayler, sun ra, the velvets, beefheart, sun city girls, etc.. I could write about that stuff for days. But I have totally been a pussy, I just use the, "Not enough time" thing as an excuse.
