Well, it's been yonks since I've posted to this beloved and reborn (1000 times over) Sinister list... And I duly apologize to all those kind and loving people that seem to know me, in one form or another. As usual, many changes in one's life seem to change the way you divide up your time. This time - thankfully - all of the changes are for the better. So it is with this cryptic and snobbish message that I greet you with love from these nether lands. I also apologize to those members on the [popjourno] mailing list who have already received this request... The following is geared somewhat to the artistically inclined amongst you (of which I certainly do not count myself). After much hemming and hawing - or whatever one says - I have decided to create a new website yet again. There already is a domain name and a loose concept, but the right ingredients are needed to complete the project. Now, before I even get started on that bit, let me explain that I see myself as a bit of an editor for this thing and not solely as THE contributor, so any input from anyone will be most welcome. It's been a long time coming since I have planned a sort of e-zine. Now, there are plenty of these floating around on the net, and some are good, some not so good. Being the snooty wannabe I am, I would like to create something intelligent, creative, amusing, and lasting. I'm also not saying that I've had my fill of music (indiepop in particular), but sometimes I feel like branching out just a tad more. This new project is aimed to be more visual in approach. Contemporary art, fashion, media, design, film, and so on, and so on... Music will still play a role; however, this role will be limited to an equal amount, on a par with the other elements. The new domain name will be postmodern.co.uk, which gives you an idea of what I mean. Don't go there yet, as it's nowhere near up and running. For this, I am kindly asking those of you inclined towards these areas to please drop me a line at postmodern@bigfoot.com. An example of what I'm aiming for is already at the excellent http://www.tangents.co.uk. Some might put this off as pseudo-intellectual twaddle and bullshit, but damn it! - I want to try it. Areas to cover could be exhibitions, portraits of artists and art movements, sociological observations and contexts, fashion trends and non-trends, the evolution/devolution of new media forms, plus of course many, many links. Written pieces will be longer and in-depth, with much insight and knowledge always a plus... Alright, I'm never going to get a reply on this, but it was worth trying! Thanks for listening to this idealistic tortured European artiste...
