hello, again
Hello, 2011. So far, you look even more post-apocalyptic than the last year. Just went through a major update; this blog once again functions as an accurate portfolio of all the music writing that I have done over the past 10 months or so. I’d like to make some promises right now, like I’ll never… Read more »

It was the kind of red-hot magma flow anger that could not be assuaged by all the counting to ten, deep… Read more »

Wednesday night, I read at the 7th installment of the NOW HEAR THIS! Hear/Hear reading series with Angela Szczepaniak and Elisabeth De Mariaffi. The back room we inhabited… Read more »

The only thing I know to do when something ends is to start something new. I’m Natalie Zed. I write CD reviews, live reviews, and blog entries for Hellbound and Metallus Maximus. I write poetry about S&M, gastroporn, comic books, video games, and heavy metal. I’ve never been very good at keeping my mouth shut.
