Only looks like the really big bands are getting put up but the "for it is they" line looks promising. And it'll be in .ram format so I'm sure you figure something out with that. And you gotta love the co-op just over the road. Who's genius idea was it to put it there :oD Wow I just noticed the roof outside my flat... intresting...

I've always thought it a good idea to review stuff you have a chance of liking, so "Baby Boom" being given to someone looking for a different type of music was a bad decision.<br /> <br /> I read this site for news and Crox lyrics, mostly. 'Big press' official reviews (in magazines with decent-sized readerships) I also take an interest in, but by people such as Gigwise or myself? I'd rather download and listen to a clip of the track and maybe read some lyrics. Bought the Keys album on the strength of the BBC sessions, for instance... to find that it lacked my favourite tracks from those sessions...<br /> <br /> Is it feasible to offer ~30 second MP3 clips here? I could handle the file editing side of things if it'd help. You might wanna clear it with the band first, of course. =) Not moaning, just pointing out that it ain’t the first… and posting to address the fact that Gigwise don’t seem to spend much time on their project.
