I don't even see the point in writing mine, now... since you and I apparently have identical tastes in music. Anyway, I'll try and get mine done this weekend.

subcontinental.giant, could I ask if you are doing this all yourself or do you have a special website person creating all this for you? If it's you, I say wow and good job. Maybe you can give me some tips on my surf dvd site if you have time. I don't know if you're interested in surf dvd stuff, but it's 'the place' to go for that. Well, just though I'd drop by and say "YOU'RE AWESOME!!" and that you have a nice blog.

Seeeee ya later.
