Never forget.

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

So, it's that time of the year again where I get a rash on my hands, my hair begins to fall out and heart starts packing it in... Yes, a new issue of CRUCIAL 'ZINE is being constructed and I thrive on stress.

The issue is looking like it's going to have interviews with the Tagnuts, the Terrors, New Town Kings, Vanilla Pod and Youth of Togay. Also look out for your guides to the essentials of hardcore, ie High Fives and Stage Dives among things, plus the usual ranting, reviewing and ignorance. Maybe some naked pictures of myself on a skateboard.

Anyway, the idea is to get it ready and printed in time for the Last Gang In Town show with the Tagnuts on the 19th of December. That means that anybody who has previously shown interest in contributing anything needs to GET IN TOUCH with me, just so I have an idea of what's going in. Let's say the deadline for any of it is the upcoming Friday: pictures, rants, guides, reviews, stories, interviews, whatever. Let me know either way.

Some of you might have seen the poster down the Man On The Moon, but yeah, we're teaming up with Last Gang In Town to put on Mouthwash, Random Hand, Chris Murray and the Skints, possibly with a few more bands, just to mix things up a bit. It's a couple months away, but we're going to try to make this just as epic as the summer show (which I missed). If you miss it, you might as well take the rest of the year off.

Also, t-shirts are looking like they are happening after X-mas, when I've pawned all the presents I get from my parents and relatives. They will look sweet.

Anyway, I'd better get back to shovelling hatred and frustrations into the furnace that powers me during the day and then shut-down for a routine 7-8 hours. Smoke pot and worship Ian MacKaye.
