Since SG changed I haven't been visiting the site even as a passive member, I'm not going to rehash criticisms here.
And the only substantial (and last) entry noted how there's not much to expect from my SG blog. Perhaps that's still true. However I've decided to use this page as an additional means of spreading my meager writing, as well as enjoyment and love for sounds of the underground via my new outlet The Plow Behind You. I also do some stuff for Summoning Spirits and CVLT Nation as well (as 'Sanakan') so that might show up here too.
I occasionally photograph and record live shows too, so aside from record reviews articles involving those may show up. Here's an example: Fastcore Fest 4 in Squamish, B.C., Canada last summer.
This will also coincide with a bit more activity in visiting and engaging with SG itself post-makeover — just so I do make a concerted effort to work with changes and resist being a knee-jerk reactionary. I still have legit complaints but there's gotta be a concerted effort from me too.
Another view could be: I have this account and there should be some use made of the blog attached to it even if I'm not into autobiographical blogging. It should be a relaxed experiment.
So anyway hopefully those who may be interested find something they enjoy, or perhaps the opposite. That would make it more fun. Genuine criticism is always encouraged. Or just unfollow me if you'd rather not be flooded with extra noise.
Cheers.
