The floodgates finally broke regarding new music releases because September was a tough Ska, Punk, and Other Junk column to narrow down.

Just as an FYI: if you are a content creator, brand, journalist, reviewer, etc, and you are ONLY posting your content on Twitter/X, you are severely limiting your reach. You might see some engagement over there...but is it worth it when 90% of the messaging over there is pure hate?

This column was a really good read, and honestly, touches on a lot of the things I feel writing about music from time to time. What is it about March that makes indie music journalists question their own existence?

Does This Even Matter Anymore?
The body has been gutted and the legs cut out from underneath ā with everything being broken and made irrelevant, writing a small music site has never felt as pointless as it does now.

I donāt think Iāll ever get used to the feeling of when a musician Iāve listened to for years reaches out to me and wants to be considered for my column. Gives me a nice little morale boost when I need it the most.
