Anyone here ever visited the site? At this point it’s pretty much DOA, just a forum with little activity.

I was active on it in the early 2000’s where you’d discuss all kinds of new wave related ephemera with a decent group of posters. Like most boards (cyber and wooden) it deteriorated over time. But even now I might not resist a thread about “was the band Go West considered new wave?” or something ridiculous like that. I do like the ridiculous.

I was thinking about it today because in the early 2000’s when the site was fully fleshed out, the administrator had a radically different view of what bands to cover than I’d expect. I’d think XTC, talking heads, Devo etc etc.

He introduced me to bands like:
-Dial M
-minor detail
-the Mood
-Slow Children
-a drop in the gray
-the rescue
-blanket of secrecy
-Espionage
-Trees

… and many others…just a big grouping of artists I’d never heard OF before; total blind spots. I had a lot of fun tracking down their releases in the used vinyl racks. (Music-related websites have a way of separating you and your earnings).

Just curious if anyone had ever wandered over there ever.

Now *that's* where I would have no objections if Slicing Up Eyeballs were to go there (instead of endless release anniversaries).

I may just be visiting this web site on a more consistent basis - lots of rabbit holes and lots of stuff that I don't even recall ever hearing on Peel.

I remember the site but haven't thought about it, let alone visit it, in forever.

I go there daily [when at work] for the News, Reissues & Compilations thread! It's part of my daily mix with Trouser Press and Steve Hoffman forums. I don't do FaceBoot. Forums are still the thing for me.
