Nikole did such an excellent job on this new endeavor interviewing a diverse group of women involved in post punk / dark arts music scene.  Have a look through the site as there will be new interviews and blog announcements added.  On a different note, I’ve been extremely sick again for multiple weeks now and finally seem to be getting better.. fingers crossed.  Today is also a super sad day for me as it is my late sisters birthday, she would have been 35.  I miss her so much, sometimes i think it’s so ironic that I’ve always been so drawn to dark music and arts and that my life has had such tragedy and that’s just too much darkness.  I know the light is out there and I get glimmers of hope and happiness of course, but still sometimes it’s hard to enjoy the dark when it’s all too real.  Anyways, I digress..   Happy darkest of days everyone!
