Finally...

Together with some friends, writers/journalists and designers I am setting up an Online Independent Hip Hop-Magazine!
A magazine with reviews, interviews, editorials, art, thoughts on Hip Hop and more!

We want to put unknown but great artists in the spotlight and focus on music similiar to here on MS.
No copy-pasting, only self-written stuff.

I already set-up two (probably three) interviews with some of my favourite artists, don't wanna go in further details; you'll see who they are!



It's still under construction, hopefully it will drop soon!
Stay tuned for it, it will be awesome!


If you like the idea and want to be part of it, just leave a comment or send me a mail what you wanna do! Reviews, Interviews, Articles, Designs, everything is alright!

20.000 + I'm Looking For Another Writer

First of all, I wanna announce that my statcounter hit the magic number of 20.000+ visits!!!
Again, this does not include my own visits. I blocked my IP just to make sure I get reliable stats.
proof for the non-believers here...

Thanks again to everyone for their visits, support and love. Extra thanks to the ones who add me to Last FM, send me recommendations and show me their love for this blog; appreciate it!


BUT now it's time for an important announcement. Please take your time to read this.


Musical Schizophrenia is getting bigger and bigger. With 1.000+ visits a day, lots of returning visitors and a graph that keeps raising and raising, it's important that there will be more updates a day.

I am on my own now and because I also have a life (work, friends, art etc.), it's hard to update the blog as much as I want to. That's why
I am looking for another writer for my blog.



Interested? Let me know!
musicalschizophrenia@live.nl
or
Leave a comment/message

There are no really conditions to become a writer. The only thing; our taste in music have to be slightly similiar. But if you like (jazzy/funky/soulful) Hip Hop and/or Funk, Jazz, Indie, Soul etc. it's all good!


That's about it. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll welcome you to the MS-team!

Musical Schizophrenia means that you should have a schizophrenic taste in music. Why? Because there's more great stuff than just Hip Hop. Lots of people stick to one genre and that's a shame. I try to introduce you to some more great music like jazz, funk, indie, rock, soul and whatnot.

This is a great album. I'm a big fan of JJ, great summer-ish/mellow music. Just go outside, grab a beer, press play and chill!
