EDITOR'S NOTE: Hospital stays and rehearsal days.

Yup. We did it again. We disappeared off the face of the interwebs and because of that, both our readership and reputation has suffered. However, this time, we have a perfectly valid excuse. (We're full of them.)

First of all, I was recently in hospital. I won't go into too much detail, but it was definitely something more serious than a broken leg. In total, I spent three weeks on the inside, and motivation to stay on top of new music and go to concerts immediately ground to a halt. After all, I was more concerned about getting better. Things like The xx coming to town were the last thing on my mind. (I never liked them much anyway.)

But just when things seemed darkest, out came the light. Once I got better, my band The Best Revenge started making plans for an album. Since then, we've been practicing our asses off and sending off demos to industry types, and that's one of the reasons our humble little blog here hasn't been getting much attention. As for the rest of it, I could blame work or the lack of interesting new music, but that would be a lie. I got lazy. It's time I picked up the pieces and brought this blog back to its former glory.

So that's that. After nearly three years, we're still not dead yet. Enjoy the posts to come.
