Dear readers, it’s been a fun ride. I started The Third Eye in 2022 to discover new psychedelic music, and the blog grew more than I ever expected. I thank you for that and for reading my writings.
However, I will need to take a break for a while. I’ve been neglecting my professional career and other responsibilities, and it’s time to start paying more attention to them. The Third Eye has been incredibly excellent to manage over the past year or so, but I dedicate a lot of time and emotional energy to it. As something that’s always been a non-money-making hobby, the way I’ve been doing it is simply unsustainable.
I do not plan to shut things down entirely. I am keeping the Instagram page and blog active so anyone can peruse old articles and posts. But my level of activity and posting will be much less than in the past. You can still send me your tunes to check out if you like, but I’ll likely only have time for occasional posts here and there.
I don’t know what the future holds or if I’ll ramp up content again. I’ve been known to change my mind about things. As I’ve written on the blog before, I tend to be obsessive about my interests, which leads to rabbit holes and furious hours of listening and writing. But for the time being, this is the plan.
Thanks again to all the bands, artists, and labels that I have covered and have shared their tunes with me. It’s been an absolute honor to get to know so many people in the online music community across so many genres. I plan to continue following you all online and keeping up with new music as much as possible.
I have a few posts scheduled for the next few days that will come out (including an interview and a review), but after that, I’m not really sure.
Keep up the good fight for me, and keep releasing independent music (if you can and are willing) to keep things fresh in this wild world.
Until next time,
-Nick
