The End of the Brain
Next week will be the last issue of The Brain. The Brain
began eight years ago in August as a little place where Brainwashed
staff members could keep tabs on each other: update the news section if
there was any news about the bands whose websites they manage; write a
few words about music or movies or books they've just experienced; and
share emails with each other that are either amusing or ask questions
which weren't already answered. Over time it built up, adding numerous
features and sections. We were one of (if not) the first publications
to post a new release schedule each week, we were one of (if not) the
first to include sound samples with reviews, we were one of (if not)
the first to outright ban major labels, and we were one of (if not) the
first to feature a weekly video component. Out of all the trendiest big
electronic publications, we arguably have had some of the most
innovative music first, beating the trendiest trendsetters to the punch
on bands like Dresden Dolls, Antony and the Johnsons, Sigur Ros,
Gosdpeed You Black Emperor!, and Múm, just to name a few. Monday
mornings will never be the same. Comments and feedback are welcome, and
we'll be happy to post them in the final issue next week. Please
include your name and city/country if you'd like them to be published.
Thanks for your attention.
