Thanks for all the pleasures brought through the years!
Thanks GJ, i very much appreciate the kind words about the blog.
For most of the time it was a genuine pleasure to do.
I may yet re-enter that world in some shape or form eventually, i'm waiting to see which way the wind blows regarding the plausability and sustainability of music-sharing online in these post-Megaupload times.
I did manage to rescue most of the exhaustively researched writings i'd done for the blog down the years, so i'm considering possibly writing a book concerning the NWoBHM.
There's no way it could compete with the MacMillan book as a reference, so i'm thinking of making it a bit different in style, combining personal recollections and anecdotes with the reference work and attempting to put it all into some kind of historical socio-political context.
Phew.
Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it?
That's the tentative idea at any rate.
I don't even know if there's a need or market for such a thing, but i do want to do something constructive with all that work.
I cannot, I shall not, I will not obey.

You ran a wonderful site my friend; I always found more and better information on your site than any other blog out there. I honestly had never fiddled with d/ling music AT ALL prior to finding your site; it was the incredible trove of great, long out-of-print music and info on NILOB that convinced me to figure out the whole mp3 thing
