i am now putting the finishing touches on my new album and am hoping to have it out in september. it is quite different to the last one - a bigger sound, more experimental.

thanks as always to all of you out there for tuning in, and for those who have been around for ten years with me and the website, the journey isn't over yet!

Laurie Jenkins mentioned in his blog that he and Bastian Juel took part in Heather's recording sessions.

Laurie's blog entry from Friday, February 18, 2005:
[...] and then managed to fit in a session for Heather Nova's new record in the evening which was nice as teamed up with Bastian Juel again who I haven't seen or played with for years - his bass sound and feel is such a pleasure to play with! Since then we have been rehearsing solidly and all is going great and sounding really cool - now I find myself back in NYC again [...]

The authors of the forums module all use the Firefox web browser exclusively, and apparently never, ever fire up Internet Explorer.

Those of you who are using IE probably notice ridiculous slowness and freezes when using the forums here. I have talked to the development team about this, but as I said they are totally clueless about it since they only use Firefox, and the forums are fast in Firefox. So to them, there is no problem.

If you are using IE and the slowness of the forums bothers you, switching to Firefox is going to be the quickest solution. The speed of the forums when browsed through Firefox is just as fast as IE was with the old forums.
