James and I have recently been chilling out in our computer room to the likes of Club 977 – 80’s radio, it’s great (ish). Doesn’t only play the 80’s you hear on Ocean FM all the time.
The gallery is back (kind of) until Nick (who’s now in charge of the gallery) fixes it up good and proper. Enjoy. Pics of the latest Cube/Academy nights will be on there soonish, Nick has those at the moment too!
I’m well into bloc party – Silent Alarm at the moment, some kind of mad indie rock stuff, resonably accessible to all!

mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --user=root &
