It’s been a while since I’ve even so much as thought about blogging, but that’s less because of an existential crisis (I already know there’s no point and I’m typing into a vast void) and more because I’ve been busy. With words and stuff! Which I may write something about later.

BAND:Â Xenia Rubinos
GENRE: A Witch Dancing Out Of Rhythm With Her Familiar
