News.

I have been meaning to do some form of news update for this for a while. But I really have just been to lazy to get around to it. But I figure now is a good time.

Item 1. What am I doing with this zine? Good question, I have no idea. I am not really sure why I started it. Nor do I know how long I will do it for. But I do know that there is a tangible copy of this zine coming October(ish). A lot of the interviews I conduct for this (web)zine will be with Australian bands or smaller international ones. The print version of the zine however, is with international bands only. The interviews the print copy contains are not being published online. I have currently completed 3 of the 10 interviews. Stay tuned.
PS. This October deadline may not happen. I am pretty slack with how I run this zine. I could probably run it better. But sometimes I really just cant seem to find the effort.

Item 2. You said you would post record reviews and good vegetarian food recipes. What gives. I really would love to do this. But I would really prefer it if I could take photographs while I cook. Makes the post a little bit more interesting. As for records, you have to take pictures of records if you review them. The idea of owning a record is to appreciate it as a package. From the artwork, to what its printed on. Gatefold or just a sleeve? What colour the record itself is and any other goodies that come with it.
My excuse. I used to own a digital camera. Pretty sure I left it in Japan. My phone 'had' an excellent camera. But I dropped my phone in a bucket of paint 9 months ago. Not only does the camera on it not work but the phone barely works itself. I have to put up with it for a further 12 months before my plan is up. My girlfriend has a an iPhone. But lets be honest the camera's on those thing are less than perfect. I don't think the camera on one of those would really do some of the records I own justice. Artwork needs to be appreciated.
This problem might be resolved around christmas time. If I get lucky with a new camera. Maybe.

Item 3. I have a Facebook page for this blog. Whenever an interview is posted here I post a link to it on that page. So if you are at all interested in following this blog, 'like' the page. Suggest it to your friends etc etc.

Cheers.
