From 2001 to 2018 I published something every day. From Buzzgrinder to Noise Creep to Skull Toaster, I was always putting something out, publishing something, scheduling something.
Up to 20 posts a day with Noise Creep (sometimes more), a nightly email newsletter with Skull Toaster.
Now I can go weeks without writing anything, or posting anything to Twitter.
What’s the point, though? Why even write this? Why hit publish?
Because there are other writers, artists, photographers, videographers struggling with the same thing.
Why post? Why “ship?”
And I think it’s my old thinking about street art. I used to think what’s the point? There’s no URL attached for more info! Why even bother?
It all comes back to permission.
Being a weird band like Presidents of the United States of America “gave permission” for other bands to be weird.
This meandering writing I’m doing right now is just kindling, a conversation starter. It’s energy that isn’t fully formed or captured, but it can go somewhere.
