Cheers for the help but nothings gonna put us off. The sales decline is a blessing in disgiuse. It'll sort out the good from the shit. I dunno why people are getting so bloody depressed. Soon the only people who are left in the scene are gonna be the passionite ones. And thats when the Summer of Love part 2 is gonna happen.

Am i the only one who is over the moon about the fact that the bullshit is being stopped in its tracks? sorry i'm loosing the run of myself. another discussion another day..
