What We Hate continues to wind down, but does so rather loudly this week with new jams from Blacklisted, Native, Grown Ups, Cloak/Dagger and many more.

Hello friends,
This little note will serve many purposes. Firstly, to announce my latest and (hopefully) greatest project, OVERHEATED. What is OVERHEATED, might you ask? Well, nothing yet. But starting soon (let’s say, shortly after the new year) it will be a resource for news, reviews, and other assorted oddities, with our primary focus being the Orlando area (and eventually, the rest of Florida). My plan is to go underground — VERY underground — and deliver fresh views on what’s happening all around The City Beautiful, but for some reason isn’t being thoroughly reported on. Essays, investigative reporting, photos, videos, podcasts, hilarity — it’s all in the cards and it’s all gonna be awesome, engaging and thought-provoking. An alternative to the alternative.
OVERHEATED will also feature quite a bit of content on the local music scene, and we’re hoping to bring you exclusives whenever we can. There’s quite a bit happening that no local press seems to know or care about enough to acknowledge; that’s where we’ll swoop in and corner it, the good and the bad.
This is where you come in. If you’re an aspiring writer living ANYWHERE in Florida (not just Orlando!) and would like to contribute to OVERHEATED, please e-mail me (bryne@punknews.org) with your ideas. Just because I’m a self-proclaimed Renaissance man doesn’t mean I know everything about everything, and I’d love to have other ‘experts’ with voices and opinions of their own on my side. You won’t be paid, but fringe benefits are likely and it’d be a decent thing to put on a resume.
As for what this means for What We Hate, well, it’ll probably go on an indefinite hiatus once OVERHEATED is up and running. It’s no secret that writing for WWH has become something of an afterthought for yours truly, and the lack of willing and able contributors hasn’t exactly helped matters, either. I’m hesitant to just kill it completely because I wouldn’t be where I am today without it, but the chances of it returning in any form beyond this year are extremely slim. I’ll probably stop at the 50th episode of the WWH Podcast (since that’s a nice, round number and everyone loves nice, round numbers) and leave the archives online forever somehow. Those worrying about the loss of the podcast need not worry, for I’ll be podcasting at OVERHEATED as well, just with a more regional flair.
I feel as far as small-time websites/blogs go, going regional is a far more effective avenue to build a voice and audience. What We Hate was never a great music blog because there were and are way too many music blogs out there doing the exact same thing we were trying to do, and the small amount of readers we had at WWH (trust me, a lot smaller than you think) reflects and confirms that. In this world of oversaturated scenes and samey opinions, going regional gives a blog a built-in audience, a decidedly different voice and a distinct advantage over other blogs trying to go ‘worldwide’ too soon. What sounds like a step backward is truly a step forward, and once it’s launched OVERHEATED will reflect that.
So, I hope you’ll join me in my next chapter of underappreciated, hardly noticeable bloggery. Again, anyone interested in taking part in this project with me should send me an e-mail (bryne@punknews.org). I look forward to hearing from you.

The Fest 8 starts tomorrow, so we’re celebrating by bringing you a super-sized episode chock full of music from bands appearing in Gainesville this weekend, as well as celebrating the unofficial one year anniversary of the podcast!
If you’re gonna be a Gainesville this weekend, look for an unkempt guy in a wheelchair with a giant brace on his left leg. That’s me. I broke my knee the other day (talk about perfect timing) and thus will be Festing from a wheelchair and/or crutches. I’m bummed, but I’m gonna make the best of it. Buy me a beer.
For those of you not converging onto Gainesville this weekend, be sure to keep an eye on Punknews.org, as we’re going to have plenty of dispatches and other audio and video treats from not only myself, but from several other news editors who will be attending.

This adorable, hopefully convalescing kitten is a symbol of my profound regret for forgoing the podcast this week. But worry not — next week the show will make its triumphant return in the form of a huge episode that will serve a dual purpose: as an unofficial One Year Anniversary (yes, it warrants capitalization) of the podcast itself, as well as a gargantuan FEST preview episode. Which means — lots of music from FEST bands and loads of FEST information on which your ears may feast. With that said, return to this space next Thursday at 8 PM EST for the WWH Podcast to end all WWH Podcasts.
This week on the show, I chat with myself while bringing you new music from Converge, Pelican, fun., Landmines, Orphan Choir, Alex Kerns and many, many others.
