bidhardcore.com

It’s just shy of six months since I last made a bidhardcore post. There’s no specific reason as to why I haven’t bothered to look at the site more than once or twice in that time. I’ve made some changes in my daily routine, and my work duties have changed pretty drastically which are both contributing factors. I was in a bit of a funk for most of this year, and I think sometime it’s easier just  to cut out the shit you don’t feel is necessary for a little while. I’ve been online the least ever in the last 6 months than I have anytime in the last decade. So a lot of days would go by where I didn’t even think about “blogging”. I’ve still been up to the same shit, playing in some bands, doing recordings, playing gigs… I had a pretty fast paced but generally high quality summer.  Everything’s fine, and I’m feeling like a little stimulation via writing might be fun again, so I’m going to try and have regular posts coming your way. No promises, but hopefully someone will still want to read this (AND LEAVE COMMENTS). AJ and I also still want to do a redesign on the site at some point although there’s no concrete plan for that.

Anyway down to business. Somehow I’ve never actually done a real Abused “Loud and Clear” post despite the 7″ being linked several times on here. It seems fitting for a “first post back” since for my money, it’s one of the truly great US Hardcore 7″s, and possibly the best of the early NY crop of releases.
