Music Editorial

Makke/Visuale/Hugi


Well friends. Everything must have an end. When I started as the "music-editor", or whatever you'd like to call it, for Hugi I was pretty green as a writer. Now, almost one and a half year later I feel I've written quite a bit. The judgement of quality I leave up to you. If you've thought my writing has sucked I'll only make you happy when I tell you that I'm leaving the editor post and the Hugi Core.

My departure is due to one thing. Lack of time. My studies have taken a lot of time the past six months, and for this very issue (#18) and the issue before this one I haven't written as much as I've wanted to. I feel my time hasn't been enough for me to do the job I've wanted to do. Due to this I've felt very uninspired to go on.

This may sound bad enough, but it is still not the main reason. The main reason is the army. I'll be called in either in January or in February 2000. This will leave me even less time to write, and as a perfectionist and as the devoted being I am, less than 100% devotion isn't enough. Not for me anyway. And if I can't "do it the whole way", the way I want to, I'd rather not do it at all.

I still haven't heard if there will be anyone replacing me as music-editor, but I hope there will. This has been one of my favourite sections in Hugi and also in my opinion the one with best quality articles (that can be discussed). I'd hate to see it go. I hope there's someone willing to do the job. I'm not going to start "hunting" people to see if anyone would like to go on. Besides, the music-corner is there for you, not for me. So if you want to keep it, help out and it will remain.

I'd really like to thank everyone who sent us articles, they've all been swell. It's quite funny, because I've never really had to ask for music related articles, they've popped in anyway. I don't know if it's because I write so much shit that people have thought: "Oh, God! I can do better than this!" and written some lines, or if it's because people actually wanted to have a good music-corner. I hope it's the last... and I also think it's the last.

It's not like I'm quitting the scene, so let's not get too sentimental here. (/me breaks out in tears)

Nah, seriously guys. It's been swell. I hope you'll remember the music-corner as the great thing it was (like in #16... man, that one rocked), but I also hope you'll continue making it even greater.

Ok. Hope you'll miss me. I'll for sure miss writing the editorials. My own free space of bullshit.

Yours,
