OUR FINAL UPDATES OF THE YEAR
NOVEMBER /DECEMBER 2012
Well the year is almost coming to a close, and what a year it has been. It’s been so busy that unfortunately I have had no spare time to edit ourAnnual Mudkiss interview book. So for the first time in 4 years we have no book coming out, which is sad but I guess you could say we are a victim of our own success. As anyone knows who manages any kind of online music zine, it is hardwork and can be stressful at times, juggling everything that a decent site demands, e-mails, sorting out gigs, interviews, going out reviewing, photographing, and putting it all together, social networking, plus holding down a full time job. So rather than crash and burn we try to take a break sometime in December to recharge our batteries and see if we have the energy, determination, patience to go forth for yet another year. [I am actually still waiting to take that break]. However during this time we have continued to post previews/videos and items of interest, and we haven't been completely dead. We just needed to as the posters say.....stay cool and chillout.
A few Mudkiss Calendars are still available – please e-mail if you want to buy one for £6.00 + p&p Mudkiss@blueyonder.co.uk
