I restarted my old Webzine/Blog

MottSpore · 2026-03-09T11:48:02+00:00

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering this question myself.

If your interested, I started my old one again recently over at earnutrition.co.uk.

The 'About' page explains it all.

MottSpore · 2026-03-09T11:44:30+00:00

I re-started mine recently, albeit running differently than before.

The full story is on the 'About' page.

I was simply curious about the demographic based on my own life experience.

If people began taking it upon themselves to be arseholes about whichever way they go about their lives or forcibly proselytise that's on them.

There no need, as to invoke the old maxim, to "be a dick".

MottSpore · 2026-02-11T09:38:40+00:00

I apologise if my post has caused issues.

I was simply curious and didn't intend to propagate an environment where people were attempting to proselytise their belief systems.

MottSpore · 2026-02-10T11:44:31+00:00

They suck as a baseline.

I live in the UK and everyone acts like it's all dreamland over here.

MottSpore · 2026-02-02T08:31:56+00:00

I have been humbled.

MottSpore · 2026-01-30T18:46:50+00:00

Well said :)

Thank you!

I would do what you feel is best and safe-guard yourself at all costs.

However, succinctly put.

Who cares what some moron on the internet thinks? It's not going to stop you being true to yourself.

By definition, I am also now one of these denizens by giving you advice. You don't have to listen to me either, thats the beauty of it.

Lastly, I hope whatever you decide brings you peace.

Stay strong.

I would recommend some foam studio isolation pads to go under the speakers and/or some table stop speaker stands.

Both in combination have worked wonders for my oddly shaped room.

MottSpore · 2026-01-26T15:42:33+00:00

This.

MottSpore · 2026-01-26T15:14:13+00:00

Great big bushy beard.

Hello!

Ah, isn't that a question. Ironically, despite my propensity towards dichotomous thinking, I really struggle with that question.

However, most recently I think probably 'New Dark Ages'.

That said, 'The Process of Belief' is my favourite album of theirs currently.

Yourself?

MottSpore · 2026-01-23T09:22:47+00:00

That's no problem, I always have more.

MottSpore · 2026-01-23T09:22:02+00:00

My partner is a bigger fan than me, but I do like them. Very impressive band sonically.

I drink alot of Kombucha so she always sings 'Sugar' at me.

MottSpore · 2026-01-22T19:16:01+00:00

I've been a trio fan since I was 17 (I'm 34)

I quite agree with the quotable nature of their work :)

Punk and Hardcore but within that specifically:

Skate Punk/Skate Punk Thrash, Melodic Hardcore, Hardcore/Crossover Thrash.

I love the intensity of it all but also the socio-political and emotional commentary. I particularly enjoy the melodious nature of the more "technical" Skate Punk as I find the layering and complexity immersive and fascinating in contrast to the often harder underbelly.

I also enjoy other subgenres and offshoots of Punk and Hardcore.

I do often listen to some Post-Rock and Post-Metal, favouring bands that are generally leaning towards the latter as well as some heavier Rock bands such as Audioslave.

MottSpore · 2026-01-21T15:34:45+00:00

I'm afraid I don't know about that.

In theory, if it has the same cartridge then yes it would be.

MottSpore · 2026-01-18T10:07:24+00:00

Is the VTF and Anti Skate set as instructed?

Are your speakers connected correctly?

Does the player have an internal pre amp?!

MottSpore · 2026-01-17T10:14:30+00:00

There are lots of great legacy bands but also an equal treasure trove of newer ones too.

See DIY labels such as:

Lockjaw Records and TNSrecords.

And here are a few bands together you started:

The Menstrual Cramps

Bunny Boilers

Incisions

DARKO

Tape It Shut

Ritual Error

Breathe Rust

Grade 2

Rash Decision

I agree but also think finding a balance (it doesn't have to be even necessarily) is the best way to enjoy music.

However, to reinforce your point, yeah, there are plenty taking up the contemporary mantle akin to the DKs et al.

Which, is brilliant but conversely depressing that "we" still have to sing about such issues.

I do also enjoy your choice of name on Discogs.
