hello!!

[bundleofstyx]

hiya, i'm alastor martyna and i'm thrilled to be here! i am a polish artist based in the uk and, while i've had a casual interest in oldweb revival and coding for many years, i only got properly into it last summer when i made my neocities site.

my site has a blog, where i post weekly, as well as an archive of my art - as well as copious amounts of fun gifs and buttons. i'm working on some more pages, though. it's very much a place for me to mess around and have some fun with html.

as for my interests, not counting coding, i love taxidermy, hiking, video games, sci-fi, films, and music. i'll listen to most anything, but i'm a big fan of 80s punk, grunge, as well as folk rock. i've got quite a collection of bones and specimen, as everyone should in my opinion. also, i am currently studying english literature, philosophy, and politics.

welp, that's all i can think to say. thanks for reading!

thank you so much! my favourite english classic is probably bram stoker's dracula. i love the writing style and structure it just sucks you in and you can't stop reading.

thank you 
i'm mainly into 60s british folk rock, and my favourite bands are traffic and the incredible string band. a more modern band i like would be the amazing devil, if they count as folk rock haha. as for punk, i really like riot grrrl so i am obigated to love bikini kill (i'm actually going to see them live in in june, which i'm very excited for). but i also *adore* heavens to betsy and L7. outside the 80s, i love seb lowe and done to death (who i recommend so strongly it hurts. done to death are *really* good)

I fucking love the Incredible String Band :D. The Hangmans Beautiful Daughter is one of the best albums period, and "Ducks on the Pond" one of my very favorite tracks.
A few years ago Tom Rapp and Pearls before Swine appeared as major challengers, and after not seeing much at them when hearing them the first time, I listen to them more often than to the ISB.

Are you familiar with the work of Shirley Collins and "The Watersons" (especially the "Bright Phoebus"-Album is extraordinary good!)? Both are not really rock, but you might like it!

I know mainly german language punk :). 'll listen to Done to Death!

i'm not! i'll have to check them out

For Collins, I recommend to start with:

Shirley Collins - The Power of the True Love Knot

She is considered as a key figure in the english folk revival, and many of her albums are great!
There is also a great collection done by apocalyptic folk core figure David Tibet (another recommendation!), called "Fountain of Snow"

For Bright Phoebus, I recommend to skip the opener and go directly to "The Scarecrow":

Have fun :D
