I liked the old look it was simple and one could navigate with little knowledge on how to get around.
I don't believe there is less interest in local music, the success of homegrown festivals etc and the popularity of local pop releases in the charts indicate, in my opinion a stable support.
The thing is, over the last few years a number of sites have sprung up, the popularity of myspace bebo etc have spread that web further a field, where I believe this site used to be a central meeting point of common interest, I for one don't frequent as often or hang out. I miss the opinion and banter of certain people that I can't seem to find anymore.
I'm looking forward to the revamp as suggested above. Usability is key.
Big ups the faithful, its always great to see your names.

Metamathics is quite simply stunning, but when i say stunning, I mean in a way that transcends the normal focus & tears a hole in the subconscious replacing it with some warped filthy undulating warmth, time twists in a euphoric drug like fashion, whilst driving i arrived at the place, unaware of the automation that steered me. This should be illegal.

Banner ads be damned, you should buy this. seriously.

Cologne, yes, well as a young fella, I used to have a grow room in my wardrobe, the only bitches I'd pull were Bassett Hounds & Labradors.

These days I find a sprig of Rosemary in my pocket & a splash of lemon does wonders.
At least for the hungry girls. 8)

Horis remained still, catching his breath & trying to make sence of the last few minutes. He reached inside his soaking jacket & clutched the parchment. It was still safe & dry.
He brushed the remaning mud from his beard & turned toward the noise of the approaching horde.

irieman : 1 November 2005 - 12:27am

They had a track on Goodshithappens Loop Select 05, unfortunately I can't find my copy, you could try contacting dem LOOP cooters.

Horis Bungrot as he was known to kin, had perched upon this slate many times, he knew every nook & cranny in the valley.
In the distance, across the glades, the familiar site of ribbons of blue smoke, rising from a small battered cottage. This was the home of Bardo, the village Shaman.
