More delay tactics from the editor! I’m drowning over here. Anyway, here’s the long-awaited Florida’s Dying interview, finally brought to fruition by our pal Mike after my failed attempt. I think he did a splendid job. Along with this comes a complete (for now) Florida’s Dying discography assembled with some help from Rich. This is the first in an ongoing series of label interviews/discographies for Termbo, to give some behind-the-scenes info on labels we all know and love and them men who run them and to also start amassing an archive of discographies-in-progress which will be updated with new releases and scum stats as we get the info. This is our first try at the discography page format, so all feedback and additions/corrections will be appreciated and used to keep things as accurate as possible. I know this one will have some updates as soon as certain savvy collectors get a peek at it (there’s some variations on the Hibachi Stranglers presses we need to address for one…). Thanks to Mike and Rich for their help. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rich in person a few times, and he’s as nice a guy as they say. If anyone has a label they’d like to feature, let me know. Next time: REVIEWS, no shit. We have enough for a double (maybe triple) page section this time, and the first one is ready to go once some sleeve scans are complete. See you soon (or maybe at Horriblefest)…

Issue 25 is still in the shop getting tuned up. In an effort to buy myself some more time to dig out from under all these record reviews I have to paste together, here’s another teaser, this time in the form of my two favorite columns, Too Much Junk and Cheap Rewards. Mr. Collectorscum serves up an all-Jersey affair with accompanying MP3s. Dr. Hyde continues with his Nineties sleeve variants rampage. Both are top notch and the stuff that Terminal Boredom needs more of. Interested parties should contact the editor if you’d like to join the team. I’ve painted myself into quite the corner with the tardiness of this update, but the light at the end of the reviews tunnel seems to be in sight. Once we get all that fixed up we’ll have almost a half-year’s worth of reviews for you to gorge on along with some long-promised interviews, columns and features. “Real life” has been severely and annoyingly cutting into my Termbo time these past few months, and as always I apologize profusely to everyone out there awaiting reviews and to staffers who have been gracious enough to put up with my sliding deadlines. Hopefully, we’ll be back real soon…
