Given some of the things I've posted on here over the past couple of years, I feel obligated to pop in and assure you that I did not kill myself, OD, or walk off into the woods to live out the rest of my days in a hole on the side of a hill.
I've been going to a lot of shows, working on new music, pumping iron, staying clean, reconnecting with old friends. Probably the biggest factors in my not posting here are 1) not a lot of free time, and 2) I'm much less inclined to go searching for every record in existence that is at all relevant to my tastes, and more inclined to just listen to albums that I do like on repeat.
Posting may or may not resume soon.
Love and gratitude now and forever,
Tim/DEAR_SPIRIT
Dear Spirit, I am so happy to read that you are alive and kicking! Indeed I was worried because there were no more posts for an unusual amount of time and the latest posts were drenched in sadness...
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you just modified your direction of travel and that this is the reason why less of your Spirit reaches mine...
Keep on rocking and thank you for all the niche tunes that I was able to discover through you - especially Arleta and Mikami Kan!!!
Cheers,
Modular oblongata
Excellent to see you are doing well, especially after all the kickass records you’ve put us onto!!
ReplyDeleteGrateful to you for all the years of great music and if the blog comes to an end so be it.
ReplyDeleteLove and gratitude now and forever to you my friend
ReplyDeleteYou be you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update.
I appreciate all the great music you've turned me on to. Your blog was the first one I started visiting regularly at the start of COVID when I started to collect music again and served as a jumping off point for me. You rock and I wish you well!
ReplyDeleteI am somewhat disappointed that you did not walk off into the woods to live out the rest of my days in a hole on the side of a hill because that's the most metal thing ever but you not being dead is good too.
ReplyDeleteLiving in a hole on the side of a hill is vastly underrated, just ask anyone who is short with hairy feet.
DeleteSo happy to hear you are well!! Thanks for everything you have shared (music and life stories) so far. Look forward to your return one day. Much love and gratitude.
