Hey guys. Some of you are already aware that I'm currently taking a break from blogging, but I'm still constantly receiving submissions and DMs, so I wrote a blog post about the current status of Fog Songs, and some of my personal thoughts about it.

I'm not a Spotify user (or a fan, tbh) but recently I decided to make some playlists on there.
This one is called 'Ambient Melancholia'.
Here's the link if you wanted to check it out, or you can just search for "ambient melancholia" on Spotify...

I really love writing about music, and my inbox is flooded with stuff I haven't even listened to yet, which I look forward to checking out once I get my shit together.
I deleted that tweet from yesterday. I thought that saying that stuff out loud would make me feel better, but it had the opposite effect. I'm sorry to those who had to read it...
For those who didn't see it - I was basically saying that due to a major crisis in my personal life
It's going to take a while to recover, so please bear with me. I had a bunch of reviews already written before my "break", which I still intend in publishing, and I've got lots and lots of music to catch up on, whenever life becomes more manageable....
It's been a very difficult summer. My personal life is currently an ugly mess. I was betrayed by someone very close to me, and I'm broke and sick with depression, and my world has fallen apart...
BANDCAMP RECOMMENDATIONS (July 23)
I'm back after a brief (and much needed) hiatus with a new list of fantastic BC recommendations for you, and a few lines about each...

@SylviaSolanas Plus I'm getting really close to having to disable my DMs. People can't be bothered even sending a simple email. I don't know if it's sheer laziness or if they think they bypass the backlog of submissions, but it's not good either way.
@SylviaSolanas This is why I stopped encouraging submissions. For every 1 great/polite submission I would get 10 obnoxious/ignorant ones. People shooting in the dark, trying their luck, showing no empathy or understanding, and putting no effort into finding out what I do.
Music artists. There is no conspiracy to why journalists aren't covering your music. Most now are unpaid or low paid, doing it for the love, bombarded with new music. It isn't an "us versus them" situation. Talk to us.
