Thanks to “Bis aufs Messer”-Recordstore I got the new s/t Comadre Record. Finally listen to it for the first time. Sounds pretty good to me. Of course. So, I guess this is my last post for 2012. Of course my new years resolutions include to write more in 2013 but we’ll see whether this really happens. Getting older makes it hard to keep track of all that fine arts.

Btw. there is only one week left to contribute to the release of the 2nd HRVST issue about. The topic is “Youth” and several musicians and artists contributed texts and stuff for it. Check it out: HRVST crowdfunding campaign.
