#Old Xian got Covid

[el-pintor]

Old Xian confirmed there is something for Christmas planned! But... Old Xian, but first of all, you need to get well sonn. You can fight Covid (I hope you're vaccinated)!

Hello, my beauties ~

I’m sorry I disappeared without notice! I’ve had some lovely messages and concerned mentions from you (shout-out to @cindy-so-far-awayyy @1154lizz @darksouls44 @19elaine @seiji-amasawa and all the anons!). Y’all know how to make a guy feel loved 😘

I’m alive and well! Some of you may be aware that England went back into lockdown soon after the new year - what the fuck. No, seriously. What the fuck. This is not the kickstart to 2021 that I had hoped for <\\3

But there’s no point getting my jockstrap in a twist. I’m keeping myself occupied; I’ve signed up again with NHS Volunteers to help with the rollout of the vaccination programme and to also support those most vulnerable. Between that and school work and home life I’ve been a busy lad. 

I miss you all and I miss our boys. I hope I can get back to writing/editing soon!

P.S. We need more volunteers! Any UK residents aged 18 or over who are willing and able, please consider signing up to NHS Volunteer Responders. We’re in this shit together yo 👊

Oh, and fuck Covid.

Covid-19 Lockdown Blues

The only way out is through

A wraithlike peril spread across our seven seas

Empty shelves in barren streets

Confined domestic quarantine

How the itching for lost touch is deafening

Covid-19 Lockdown Blues

Iceage got it right. They released this track earlier in the week via their Bandcamp, with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. So, feel free to listen here, but go there and buy. You’ll feel better for doing so.

This month’s installment is a long one. Being stuck inside listening to new music isn’t a terrible thing. Plus, I’m still digging through some excellent releases from 2019 (Fontaines D.C.). My extra time will hopefully help fill yours. Also, I’m mixing the bag up with some new releases from some not so-familiar faces from the show/‘casts, but bands I’ve loved for a while. Both Antibalas and The James Hunter Six have excellent new records out now. If you’re unfamiliar with either, treat yourself, and go deep with them. You’ll thank me.

Be sure to check the excellent new music from Waxahatchee, M.Ward, Dirty Projectors, Squid, TFS, Control Top, Porridge Radio, a pair of killer covers from Ty Segall (free download!) and the Flaming Lips/Deap Vally collab, and new material from old favorites like Malkmus and Peter Bjorn & John.

Enjoy the mix, and share on Spotify. And I’ll see you in the other side of quarantine. First round is one me.

Hi! Love your edits! Do you have an instagram account? Or twitter? Do you have any kinks? ;) Do you know what happened to Old Xian? Is she okay? I'm sorry if I'm asking too much :(

Hiya 💋 ~

I’m not on Twitter but I do have an Insta account. There isn’t any fandom content on there, though. Just silly selfies and drunk snaps.

And, yeah. Your boy’s got a fuckton of kinks.

China’s going through a rough time right now with COVID-19 and I’m not surprised Old Xian and other local creators have taken a step back or slowed down to focus on real-life shit.
