Proud of myself this week. Finally finished writing the reviews for my next "Last Year's Sounds" zine, rounding up all the Japanese indie/underground music that crossed my radar from 2023. Been chipping away at it in gaps between work for months now and it's up to 10,000 words on around 50 releases.
As a bonus, I'm so disconnected from the conversation about Japanese music now that I can probably guarantee these will be 50-odd releases that hardly anyone's heard of and absolutely no one else is talking about. That's the hardcore service I provide.
