Hey guys. Some of you are already aware that I'm currently taking a break from blogging, but I'm still constantly receiving submissions and DMs, so I wrote a blog post about the current status of Fog Songs, and some of my personal thoughts about it. fogsongs.blogspot.com/2023/0…

Glorious 👇
I've just finished creating a Spotify playlist called 'Watery Ambience, Oceanic Soundscapes, Liquid Tones & Deep Sea Drones'. ft. @enricoconiglio @_loscil_ @tinyspoons @MarsenJules @ClementPanchout @loopatronica @ireless_sound etc... Here's the link... open.spotify.com/playlist/6I…

Incredible playlist 👇
I'm not a Spotify user (or a fan, tbh) but recently I decided to make some playlists on there. This one is called 'Ambient Melancholia'. Here's the link if you wanted to check it out, or you can just search for "ambient melancholia" on Spotify... open.spotify.com/playlist/4D…

I deleted that tweet from yesterday. I thought that saying that stuff out loud would make me feel better, but it had the opposite effect. I'm sorry to those who had to read it... For those who didn't see it - I was basically saying that due to a major crisis in my personal life

I'm taking a break from blogging for a while to concentrate on my health and wellbeing. I'm not sure how long it'll be...hopefully not too long...

I really love writing about music, and my inbox is flooded with stuff I haven't even listened to yet, which I look forward to checking out once I get my shit together.

It's been a very difficult summer. My personal life is currently an ugly mess. I was betrayed by someone very close to me, and I'm broke and sick with depression, and my world has fallen apart...

It's going to take a while to recover, so please bear with me. I had a bunch of reviews already written before my "break", which I still intend in publishing, and I've got lots and lots of music to catch up on, whenever life becomes more manageable....

Music artists. There is no conspiracy to why journalists aren't covering your music. Most now are unpaid or low paid, doing it for the love, bombarded with new music. It isn't an "us versus them" situation. Talk to us.

100%. When I write about your music and you don't acknowledge and/or share it, I assume that you either don't like my writeup (which is totally fair enough) or you don't want/need the attention and exposure. Either way, I'll never write about you again...
Dear artists, if someone writes about you, a retweet or share is appreciated. It helps the site to grow, which means we can help more artists. Your fans might do the same. The relationship is symbiotic. I refuse to write further articles about artists that won't do this.

There's so many great independent artists/bands/labels out there who are desperate for some exposure, many of whom I simply I don't have the time and energy to write about, because it's spent on those that don't give a shit.

THIS.
I was sad to see a lot of negativity towards Bandcamp Friday yesterday from small artists & labels. I know @Bandcamp aren't perfect (who is?) but they're BY FAR the best independent music platform on the Internet, and Bandcamp Fridays are an amazing thing for artists...

It really bums me out when people say in emails ''obviously you didn't like my music because you didn't write about it'', or words to that effect. I can understand why you might THINK that, but there's a multitude of reasons why I choose not to write about an album...

Please don't take it personally if I don't write about yours. I'm not a critic or music reviewer. I am no one significant, just a lowly music blogger.

I know it's really difficult for small artists to get heards these days, but please don't make me feel guilty and shitty for not writing about your music. Music blogging is a lonely and thankless task. Please show some empathy and understanding.
