Welcome to Crushing Krisis, the longest continuously-running blog in Philadelphia – launched on August 26, 2000 and authored by yours truly, Peter Marinari.
Crushing Krisis (CK, for short) found it’s name because my internet handle has always been “Krisis,” and I started blogging to record all the things I was crushing on (or that were crushing me). CK was launched on Blogger and has run on WordPress since 2006.
Today, CK features musings on life in Philly, being a married yuppy, popular music, and comics books, among other topics. I also blog about my experiences as a DIY musician and songwriter, including highlighting other artists in the Philly music scene.
My music has been a feature of CK even before I was actively gigging – my Trio podcast might have been the first singer-songwriter podcast feature on the internet. You might be interested learning more about one of the following topics:
- your author (me!)
- my original music (and, also, my recordings and musical gear)
- CK’s current iteration of WordPress
Now that I’ve entered my tenth year of blogging, there’s a lot of CK here for you to read. You could take a random dive into the archive, but that’s a daunting journey. To help you get started, I tagged my favorite posts from each year: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5,Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, and Year 11.
After you’ve done some reading I’d love to hear about your favorites, especially if they are posts I haven’t already highlighted!
I owe many thanks to the following sponsors on Patreon, who pay for the costs to host and serve CK: Allie @ Navel Gazing Blog
I actively read and respond to all comments left on the blog, so please don’t hesitate to leave a note or question. Or, if you’d prefer, you can contact me via my contact form.
Thanks!
