Feels like an aeon since I last wrote anything substantial here (i.e., other than a post of this vein), during which time, I’ve been occupying my time with the rigours of work, assisting in the proofreading and/or copyediting of some neat tomes, and rediscovering the joys of gig-going. On a more global level, the world has experienced, amongst other things, the election, and recent re-election, of the most entertaining American president of my lifetime, a Sinosourced pandemic that served as the pretext for many a state across the world to do what it does best—increase its powers at the expense of the freedoms of those under its control—and the (re-)ignition of a war in the easternmost part of Europe; more locally, on this Sphinctered Isle of mine, a monarch passed into history, and a succession of PMs came and went following the voterbase’s decision to sever from an overarching superstate entity, including a dancing queen, a war-whisperer who helped hike up the price of living with his cajolery, the 50-day wonder, and, hopefully very soon, the anarcho-tyrannist incarnate currently subjecting the populace to a demographically-discriminating application of crime and punishment.
So, yes, things haven’t exactly been quiet, even if I have.
In any case , I’d like to welcome the five of you reading this to the infernal renaissance, during which , I’ll be elaborating on some of the above, and more besides. Maybe, I’ll even throw in the odd gig review to break the momentum here ‘n’ there.
Hell’s reopened up, and you’re all invited.

Good to hear from you again. It’s been what … 5 years?
Anyway, good to have you back on the scene. Indeed it has been a wild ride, lots of human suffering at the behest of powerful, shitty people. Yet the populous obsess over trifles while our betters have their way with our rights, freedoms and in many cases our flesh and blood.
Anyway, good to have you back on the scene. Look forward to what you publish next.
Regards, Seppo.
